Joshua 23:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Else, if ye go back, and cleave unto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remain with you, and shall [a]make marriages with them, and [b]go unto them, and they to you,
13 Know ye for certain, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: (A)but they shall be a snare and destruction unto you, and a whip on your sides, and thorns in your [c]eyes, until ye perish out of this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.
14 And behold, this day do I [d]enter into the way of all the world, and ye know in all your [e]hearts and in all your souls, that (B)nothing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised you, but all are come to pass unto you: nothing hath failed thereof.

Joshua 23:12-14
King James Version
12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
13 Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
