⁷ Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

¹³ And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.

¹⁵ As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.

³² Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.

¹⁴ Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.

²⁰ I go in the road of righteousness, in the way of right judging:

²⁷ Let there be no turning to the right or to the left, keep your feet from evil.

³ And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,

⁸ Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

¹ Now after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the word of the Lord came to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' helper, saying,

⁷ Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

⁹ So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

³² You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.

²³ And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.
