Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

Wherefore I also said {H559}, I will not drive them out {H1644} from before {H6440} you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides {H6654}, and their gods {H430} shall be a snare {H4170} unto you.

This is why I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will be on your flanks, and their gods will become a snare for you.'"

So now I tell you that I will not drive out these people before you; they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.”
