Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face: but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block 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.
But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides. And they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.
Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them: neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it; and it became a ruin to Gedeon and to all his house.
