Joshua 9:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 Because you told lies to us, you will always have to be our servants. You will cut wood and you will fetch water to serve our God.’
24 The Gibeonites said to Joshua, ‘We heard about the command that the Lord your God had given to his servant, Moses. We know that he told Moses to take the whole of our land for you to live in. We know that you must kill all the people who live there now. Because of that, we were very afraid that you would kill us. That is why we did what we did. 25 Now we are under your power. You must decide what to do with us. Do whatever you think is right and good.’

Joshua 9:23-25
New International Version
23 You are now under a curse:(A) You will never be released from service as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
24 They answered Joshua, “Your servants were clearly told(B) how the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you the whole land and to wipe out all its inhabitants from before you. So we feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this. 25 We are now in your hands.(C) Do to us whatever seems good and right(D) to you.”
