Douay Bible - Joshua Chapter 23

Joshua 23:1
And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:

Joshua 23:2
Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years:

Joshua 23:3
And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you:

Joshua 23:4
And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:

Joshua 23:5
The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.

Joshua 23:6
Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:

Joshua 23:7
Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:

Joshua 23:8
But cleave ye unto the Lord your God: as you have done until this day.

Joshua 23:9
And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.

Joshua 23:10
One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.

Joshua 23:11
11This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.

Joshua 23:12
But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:

Joshua 23:13
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them be- fore your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you.

Joshua 23:14
Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed.

Joshua 23:15
Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so Will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,

Joshua 23:16
When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them : then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
