Joshua 9:23-25

New American Standard Bible

²³ Now therefore, you are ^(A)cursed, and ^[a]you will never cease to be slaves, both gatherers of firewood and ^[b]labor to draw water for the house of my God.” ²⁴ So they answered Joshua and said, “^(B)Since your servants were fully informed that the Lord your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you, we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing. ²⁵ And now behold, ^(C)we are in your hands; do to us as it seems good and right in your sight to do.”
