Exegesis
The juridical clause ki lo nafal davar echad {כִּי לֹא־נָפַל דָּבָר אֶחָד | kî lō-nā-pal dā-war ’e-ḥāḏ} uses lo-nafal “has not failed.” The construct chain mikkol hadevarim hatovim asher diber yə-hō-wāh ʼĕ-lō-hê-ḵem ʼă-lê-ḵem specifies the full scope of divine speech.
The concluding parallelism hakol bā-ʼû lā-ḵhem lo-nafal mim-men-nû dā-war e-ḥāḏ {הַכֹּל בָּאוּ לָכֶם לֹא־נָפַל מִמֶּנּוּ דָּבָר אֶחָד} underscores universal fulfillment. English word order and explicit connectors preserve Hebrew syntax and emphasis.

In context — Joshua 23:14
And behold, I am going today in the way of all the earth. And you know in all your heart and in all your soul that not one word from all the good words that the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have come to you, and not a single word has failed.
