9 The Lord has driven great and powerful nations out as you advanced and no one has ever been able to stand against you.
10 Any one of you can make a thousand men run away, because the Lord your God is fighting for you, just as he promised.
11 Be careful, then, to love the Lord your God.
12 If you are disloyal and join with the nations that are still left among you and intermarry with them,
13 you may be sure that the Lord your God will no longer drive these nations out as you advance. Rather, they will be as dangerous for you as a trap or a pit and as painful as a whip on your back or thorns in your eyes. And this will last until none of you are left in this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
14 “Now my time has come to die. Every one of you knows in his heart and soul that the Lord your God has given you all the good things that he promised. Every promise he made has been kept; not one has failed.
15 But just as he kept every promise that he made to you, so he will carry out every threat.
