Joshua 9:6

Jos 9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

Ver. 6. We be come from a far country. ] And therefore you may safely make a league with us. Deu 20:11 Here was fair tale, but not a word of truth, Nusquam tuta fides.

“ Sit licit in partes circumspectissimus omnes,

Nemo tamen vulpes nemo cavere potest. ”
