Joshua 23:15

Therefore it shall come to pass that, as all good things are come upon you which the Lord, your God, promised you, so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, as He had threatened, Leviticus 26:14; Deuteronomy 28:15, until He have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord, your God, hath given you.
