This verse comes after Israel had repeatedly broken their covenant with God by worshipping other gods and making alliances with pagan nations. Joshua had conquered much of the Promised Land but died before completing the task of driving out all the Canaanite peoples. God is now announcing that He will no longer help Israel finish what Joshua started because of their unfaithfulness.
