Joshua 24:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 but I refused to listen to Balaam’s prayer. So he asked me to bless you, and I saved you from the enemy.
11 “‘Then you went across the Jordan River to the city of Jericho. The people in Jericho fought against you. Also, the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites fought against you. But I allowed you to defeat them all. 12 As your army went forward, I sent the Hornet[a] ahead of them and made the people leave the land, as I did to the two Amorite kings.[b] It was not your swords and bows that brought you victory!
