And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 9 of Joshua. Three days later Israel discovers the deception. Nevertheless, the leaders uphold the oath because they had sworn by the name of the Lord. The Gibeonites are made servants associated with worship, responsible for providing wood and water. The tension between deception and the obligation of an oath shows that words spoken before God have consequences. Israel must face the consequences of its decision rather than treating the breaking of an oath as a convenient solution.

Nun aber, siehe, wir sind in deinen Händen; was dich gut dünkt uns zu tun, das tue.
Ahora pues, henos aquí en tu mano: lo que te pareciere bueno y recto hacer de nosotros, hazlo.
Y ahora, aquí estamos en tu mano. Haz con nosotros lo que sea bueno y recto a tus ojos».
Et maintenant nous voici entre tes mains; traite-nous comme tu trouveras bon et juste de nous traiter.
e ora eccoci nelle tue mani; fa’ inverso noi come ti parrà buono e diritto di farci.
E eis que agora estamos na tua mão; faze-nos aquilo que te pareça bom e reto.
現在,看哪,我們在你手中,你看怎樣待我們是好的,是對的,就這樣做吧!」
