24 And they went on to say to Joshua: “Jehovah has given all the land into our hand.+ Consequently all the inhabitants of the land have also grown disheartened because of us.”+

5 And the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of the armies,* is the One touching the land,* so that it melts;+ and all the inhabitants in it will have to mourn;+ and it will certainly come up like the Nile, all of it, and sink down like the Nile of Egypt.+
