12 “But if YOU should turn back at all+ and YOU do cleave to what is left of these nations,+ these that remain with YOU, and YOU do form marriage alliances+ with them and go in among them, and they among YOU,

13 YOU should positively know that Jehovah YOUR God will not continue to dispossess these nations on YOUR account;+ and they must become to YOU as a trap and as a snare and as a scourge on YOUR flanks+ and as thorns in YOUR eyes until YOU have perished off this good ground that Jehovah YOUR God has given YOU.+
