Land Still to Be Conquered 13:1 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess. 2 This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites 3 (from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is counted as Canaanite; there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of the Avvim, 4 in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of the Amorites, 5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath, 6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out from before the people of Israel. Only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you. 7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.” The Inheritance East of the Jordan8 With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; 11 and Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); these Moses had struck and driven out. 13 Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.JOSHUA 14

The Inheritance West of the Jordan 14:1 These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit. 2 Their inheritance was by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. 3 For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. 4 For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their substance. 5 The people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land. Caleb’s Request and Inheritance6 Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 8 But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. 11 I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming. 12 So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.”PROVERBS 11

11:1 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,but a just weight is his delight. 2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,but with the humble is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright guides them,but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. 4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,but righteousness delivers from death. 5 The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight,but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust. 7 When the wicked dies, his hope will perish,and the expectation of wealth perishes too. 8 The righteous is delivered from trouble,and the wicked walks into it instead. 9 With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. 10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness. 11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown. 12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,but a man of understanding remains silent. 13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. 14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls,but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. 15 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure. 16 A gracious woman gets honor,and violent men get riches. 17 A man who is kind benefits himself,but a cruel man hurts himself. 18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward. 19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live,but he who pursues evil will die. 20 Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord,but those of blameless ways are his delight. 21 Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished,but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered. 22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snoutis a beautiful woman without discretion. 23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,the expectation of the wicked in wrath. 24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. 25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,and one who waters will himself be watered. 26 The people curse him who holds back grain,but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it. 27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,but evil comes to him who searches for it. 28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. 29 Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind,and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,and whoever captures souls is wise. 31 If the righteous is repaid on earth,how much more the wicked and the sinner!ROMANS 1
