Quotes about Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor. And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones. Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day. Book of Joshua 7:24-26 NKJV. For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, And they shall be remembered by their name no more.

Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth, To make them lie down safely. Book of Hosea 2:17-18 NKJV.
