Joshua 9:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ So now you are cursed! The name ‘slave’ will never be removed from you. You will always be wood cutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”

²⁴ They answered Joshua, “Your servants were told very clearly that the Lord your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to exterminate all the inhabitants of the land from your presence. We feared greatly for our lives because of you. That is why we did this. ²⁵ So here we are, in your hand. Whatever seems good and right in your eyes to do to us, do it.”
