Joshua:7:8-12

*
O Lord ,
what shall I say ,
when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies !
*
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it ,
and shall environ us round ,
and cut off our name from the earth :
and what wilt thou do unto thy great name ?
*
And the LORD said unto Joshua ,
Get thee up ;
wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face ?
*
Israel hath sinned ,
and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them :
for they have even taken of the accursed thing ,
and have also stolen ,
and dissembled also ,
and they have put it even among their own stuff .
*
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies ,
but turned their backs before their enemies ,
because they were accursed :
neither will I be with you any more ,
except ye destroy the accursed from among you .
