For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 23 of Joshua. Joshua recalls Israel’s victories and states that one Israelite can pursue a thousand because the Lord fights for His people. But he immediately warns that association with the remaining nations can become a snare. The same God who guarantees protection requires exclusive faithfulness. The passage directly connects Israel’s future security with covenant obedience and warns that unfaithfulness will have consequences for remaining in the land.

Der HERR hat vor euch vertrieben große und mächtige Völker, und niemand hat euch widerstanden bis auf diesen Tag.
Pues ha echado Jehová delante de vosotros grandes y fuertes naciones, y hasta hoy nadie ha podido parar delante de vuestro rostro.
Jehová ha expulsado delante de ustedes a naciones grandes y poderosas; hasta el día de hoy nadie ha podido hacerles frente.
L'Eternel a chassé devant vous des nations grandes et puissantes; et personne, jusqu'à ce jour, n'a pu vous résister.
Onde il Signore ha cacciate dal cospetto vostro delle nazioni grandi e potenti; e niuno è potuto starvi a fronte fino ad oggi.
Pois o SENHOR expulsou de diante de vós grandes e fortes nações; e, quanto a vós, ninguém vos tem podido resistir, até o dia de hoje.
因為耶和華已經把又大又強的列國從你們面前趕出;直到今日,沒有一人能在你們面前站立得住。
