*
And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men ,
for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim ,
and struck them down on the descent ;
therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water .
*
Then Joshua tore his clothes ,
and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until evening ,
he and the elders of Israel ;
and they put dust on their heads .
*
And Joshua said , "
Alas ,
Lord GOD ,
why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy us ?
Oh ,
that we had been content ,
and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan !
*
O Lord ,
what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies ?
