7. That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
8. But cleave to the LORD your God, as ye have done to this day.
9. For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you to this day.
10. One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11. Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
12. Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and associate with them, and they with 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 to 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 spoke concerning you: all are come to pass to you, and not one thing hath failed of it.
