Joshua 24:11-13
New Living Translation
11 “When you crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho, the men of Jericho fought against you, as did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I gave you victory over them. 12 And I sent terror[a] ahead of you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. It was not your swords or bows that brought you victory. 13 I gave you land you had not worked on, and I gave you towns you did not build—the towns where you are now living. I gave you vineyards and olive groves for food, though you did not plant them.

New International Version
11 “‘Then you crossed the Jordan(A) and came to Jericho.(B) The citizens of Jericho fought against you, as did also the Amorites, Perizzites,(C) Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites,(D) but I gave them into your hands.(E) 12 I sent the hornet(F) ahead of you, which drove them out(G) before you—also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow.(H) 13 So I gave you a land(I) on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’(J)
