爾僕持刃、其鋒頓挫、戰鬥不利兮、

使其刀劍挫刃無鋒、使之爭戰時不得立穩、

敵人蒙提拔。洋洋喜氣騰。

“ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged for healing or set with a dressing so that it might become strong enough to grasp a sword.Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, the strong arm and the broken one, and I will make the sword drop from his hand.I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among foreign countries.I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and I will place my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan like the fatally wounded before the king of Babylon.I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I place my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he extends it against the land of Egypt.

You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us.

“‘ As for the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer.They will stumble over each other as those who flee before a sword, though there is no pursuer, and there will be no one to take a stand for you before your enemies.

So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai.The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them and chased them from in front of the city gate all the way to the fissures and defeated them on the steep slope. The people’s courage melted away like water.

Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will defeat you before the enemy. God is capable of helping or defeating.”

If only we had been satisfied to live on the other side of the Jordan! O Lord, what can I say now that Israel has retreated before its enemies?When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will turn against us and destroy the very memory of us from the earth. What will you do to protect your great reputation?”The LORD responded to Joshua,“ Get up! Why are you lying there face down?Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment! They have taken some of the riches; they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation. I will no longer be with you, unless you destroy what has contaminated you.

So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped down and attacked them as far as Hormah.

Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you, and you will be defeated before your enemies.
