⁹Yahweh has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, nobody has withstood^k you to this day. ¹⁰One of your men put to flight a thousand, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you, just as he promised you. ¹¹Take utmost care for the sake of your life to love Yahweh your God, ¹²for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations among you,^l and you intermarry with them, marrying their women and they yours,^m ¹³know for certain that Yahweh your God will not continue to drive outⁿ these nations from before you; they will be for you a snare and a trap, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.

¹⁴Look! I am about to die,^o and you know in all your hearts^p and souls^q that not one thing failed^r from all the good things that Yahweh your God promised concerning you; everything has been fulfilled;^s not one thing failed.^t ¹⁵But just as all the good things^u came to you that Yahweh your God promised, so will Yahweh bring to you all the bad things^v until he has destroyed you from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you. ¹⁶If you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded to you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, Yahweh’s anger will be kindled^w against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.”
