約書亞記 23:13

你們要確實知道，耶和華－你們的上帝必不再將他們從你們眼前趕出；他們卻要成為你們的網羅、機檻、肋上的鞭、眼中的刺，直到你們在耶和華－你們上帝所賜的這美地上滅亡。

nǐ men yào què shí zhī dào ， yē hé huá — nǐ men de shén bì bú zài jiāng tā men cóng nǐ men yǎn qián gǎn chū ； tā men què yào chéng wéi nǐ men de wǎng luó 、 jī kǎn 、 lèi shàng de biān 、 yǎn zhōng de cì ， zhí dào nǐ men zài yē hé huá — nǐ men shén suǒ cì de zhè měi dì shàng miè wáng 。

know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
