When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 23 of Joshua. Joshua states that he is about to die and declares that not one of God’s good promises has failed. Yet the same divine faithfulness that guarantees the promises of blessing also guarantees the warnings of judgment if Israel abandons the covenant. The passage presents a coherent theology of the divine word: God is faithful both when He grants what He promised and when He carries out the announced consequences.

wenn ihr übertretet den Bund des HERRN, eures Gottes, den er euch geboten hat, und hingeht und andern Göttern dient und sie anbetet, daß der Zorn des HERRN über euch ergrimmt und euch bald umbringt hinweg von dem guten Land, das er euch gegeben hat.
Cuando traspasareis el pacto de Jehová vuestro Dios que él os ha mandado, yendo y honrando dioses ajenos, e inclinándoos a ellos. Y el furor de Jehová se inflamará contra vosotros, y luego pereceréis de aquesta buena tierra que él os ha dado.
si quebrantan el pacto de Jehová su Dios que él les mandó y van a servir a otros dioses y se postran ante ellos. Entonces la ira de Jehová se encenderá contra ustedes y perecerán pronto de la buena tierra que les ha dado».
Si vous transgressez l'alliance que l'Eternel, votre Dieu, vous a prescrite, et si vous allez servir d'autres dieux et vous prosterner devant eux, la colère de l'Eternel s'enflammera contre vous, et vous périrez promptement dans le bon pays qu'il vous a donné.
se voi trasgredite il patto del Signore Iddio vostro, il quale egli vi ha comandato, e andate a servire ad altri dii, e li adorate. E l’ira del Signore si accenderà contro a voi, e perirete subitamente d’in su questa buona terra, la quale egli vi ha data
Quando transgredirdes a aliança do SENHOR vosso Deus, que vos tem ordenado, e fordes e servirdes a outros deuses, e a eles vos inclinardes, então a ira do SENHOR sobre vós se acenderá, e logo perecereis de sobre a boa terra que vos deu.
你們若違背耶和華-你們上帝吩咐你們所守的約,去事奉別神,敬拜它們,耶和華的怒氣必向你們發作,使你們在他所賜給你們的美地上迅速滅亡。」
