Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Joshua 7:12

Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye (f) destroy the accursed from among you.

(f) Then to allow wickedness unpunished, is to refuse God willingly.
