10But the Lord your God would not destroy you; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their hands, and delivered them to us.
11And you° crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands.
12And he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, even twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13And he gave you a land on which you° did not labour, and cities which you° did not build, and you° were settled in them; and you° eat of vineyards and olive yards which you° did not plant.
14And now fear the Lord, and serve him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
15But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom you° will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, amongst whom you° dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.
16And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.
