²² Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.

² And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

²¹ And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.

²⁸ That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

¹¹ And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.

¹² And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.

⁵ That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

²⁷ They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

²⁸ In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

²⁹ But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

³⁰ So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

³ When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
