Exegesis
The negative particle lō {לֹ֨א | lō} plus the Hiphil imperfect yôsîp̄ {יוֹסִיף | yôsîp̄} with the infinitive construct ləhôrîš {לְהוֹרִ֛ישׁ | ləhôrîš} conveys the cessation of divine dispossession.
In context — Joshua 23:13
Know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you, but they will become for you a snare , and a trap, a scourge at your sides and thorns in your eyes until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
