7 And Ioshua said, Alas, O adanay yahawah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people ouer Iordan, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy vs? Would to God we had bene content, and dwelt on the other side Iordan.
8 Oh adanay! what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backes before their enemies?
9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall heare of it, and shall enuiron vs round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou doe vnto thy great Name?
10 ΒΆ And the yahawah saide vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp; wherefore liest thou thus vpon thy face?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they haue also transgressed my Couenant which I commaunded them: for they haue euen taken of the accursed thing, and haue also stollen, and dissembled also, and they haue put it euen amongst their owne stuffe.
“when we israelites turn our backs to our enemies”, prayer of ioshua 7:7
