Joshua 23:16 in Context — Joshua 23

14 Voici, je m’en vais maintenant par le chemin de toute la terre. Reconnaissez de tout votre cœur et de toute votre âme qu’aucune de toutes les bonnes paroles prononcées sur vous par l’Éternel, votre Dieu, n’est restée sans effet; toutes se sont accomplies pour vous, aucune n’est restée sans effet.

15 Et comme toutes les bonnes paroles que l’Éternel, votre Dieu, vous avait dites se sont accomplies pour vous, de même l’Éternel accomplira sur vous toutes les paroles mauvaises, jusqu’à ce qu’il vous ait détruits de dessus ce bon pays que l’Éternel, votre Dieu, vous a donné.

16 Si vous transgressez l’alliance que l’Éternel, votre Dieu, vous a prescrite, et si vous allez servir d’autres dieux et vous prosterner devant eux, la colère de l’Éternel s’enflammera contre vous, et vous périrez promptement dans le bon pays qu’il vous a donné.
