Joshua 7:9 in Context — Joshua 7

7 E Josué disse: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Por que fizeste passar a este povo o Jordão, para entregar-nos nas mãos dos amorreus, que nos destruam? Antes nos tivéssemos ficado da outra parte do Jordão!

8 Ai Senhor! Que direi, já que Israel virou as costas diante de seus inimigos?

9 Porque os cananeus e todos os moradores da terra ouvirão, e nos cercarão, e apagarão nosso nome de sobre a terra: então que farás tu a teu grande nome?

10 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Levanta-te; por que te prostras assim sobre teu rosto?

11 Israel pecou, e ainda quebrantou meu pacto que eu lhes havia mandado; pois ainda tomaram do anátema, e até furtaram, e também mentiram, e ainda o guardaram entre seus utensílios.
