Numbers 33:55

Back to Verses

But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

But if you don't remove the people living in the land, those you leave behind will cause you trouble like a scratch in your eye and a thorn in your side, making life hard where you live.
