55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as ybarbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell.
13 know for certain that xthe Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, ybut they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.
3 So now I say, nI will not drive them out before you, but they shall become othorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.”
34 They did not hdestroy the peoples,
ias the Lord commanded them,
36 They served their idols,
which became ka snare to them.
