Joshua 7:5Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd were defeated by the men of the city of Hai. And there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim. And they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and melted like water. See the chapter |
And when they shall say to thee: Why mournest thou? Thou shalt say: For that which I hear: because it cometh, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and water shall run down every knee. Behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God.
Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them: and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
