Joshua 23:8

Faithfulness and loyaltyFaithObedience

6 Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, not turning aside from it to the right or to the left.

7 So you are not to associate with these nations that remain among you. You must not call on the names of their gods or swear by them, and you must not serve them or bow down to them.

Instead, you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

9 The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and to this day no one can stand against you.

10 One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
