Joshua 7:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Then Joshua said, “·Lord God [or Sovereign Lord], why did you bring our people across the Jordan River ·and then let the Amorites destroy us [to give us into the hands of the Amorites]? ·We would have [^LIf only we had] been happy to stay on the other side of the Jordan. ⁸ Lord, ·there is nothing I can say now [what can I say now that…]. Israel has ·been beaten by [fled from; ^Lturned their back before] the enemy. ⁹ The Canaanites and all the other people in this country will hear about this and will ·surround [encircle] and ·kill us all [^Lcut off our name from the earth]! Then what will you do for your own great name?”
