Joshua:7:6-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Joshua rent his clothes ,
and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide ,
he and the elders of Israel ,
and put dust upon their heads .
*
And Joshua said ,
Alas ,
O Lord GOD ,
wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan ,
to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites ,
to destroy us ?
would to God we had been content ,
and dwelt on the other side Jordan !
*
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 ?
