Joshua and the leaders of Israel tore their clothes in grief, threw themselves to the ground before the LORD's Covenant Box, and lay there till evening, with dust on their heads to show their sorrow.

And Joshua said, "Sovereign LORD! Why did you bring us across the Jordan at all? To turn us over to the Amorites? To destroy us? Why didn't we just stay on the other side of the Jordan?

The Canaanites and everyone else in the country will hear about it. They will surround us and kill every one of us! And then what will you do to protect your honor?"

(SEE 1:20)

Do not be afraid of them; remember what the LORD your God did to the king of Egypt and to all his people.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The LORD protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.

The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

God is my savior; I will trust him and not be afraid. The LORD gives me power and strength; he is my savior.

The LORD says, "Small and weak as you are, Israel, don't be afraid; I will help you. I, the holy God of Israel, am the one who saves you.

He controls the times and the seasons; he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding.

Your Majesty, you are the greatest of all kings. The God of heaven has made you emperor and given you power, might, and honor.

He has made you ruler of all the inhabited earth and ruler over all the animals and birds. You are the head of gold.

You will be driven away from human society and will live with wild animals. For seven years you will eat grass like an ox and sleep in the open air, where the dew will fall on you. Then you will admit that the Supreme God controls all human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses.

He looks on the people of the earth as nothing; angels in heaven and people on earth are under his control. No one can oppose his will or question what he does.
