Joshua 9:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ And the leaders said to them, Let them live [and be our slaves]. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the assembly, just as the leaders had said of them.

²² Joshua called the men and said, Why did you deceive us, saying, We live very far from you, when you dwell among us?

²³ Now therefore you are cursed, and of you there shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
