Joshua 9:23-25
New English Translation

23 Now you are condemned to perpetual servitude as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”[a] 24 They said to Joshua, “It was carefully reported to your subjects[b] how the Lord your God commanded Moses his servant to assign you the whole land and to destroy all who live in the land from before you. Because of you we were terrified[c] we would lose our lives, so we did this thing. 25 So now we are in your power.[d] Do to us what you think is good and appropriate.”[e]
