Amplified Bible
Joshua 24:20-27
20If you do abandon (reject) the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume and destroy you after He has done you good.”
21The people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve [only] the Lord.”
22Joshua then said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the Lord, to serve Him.” And they said, “We are witnesses.”
23“Now then, remove the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your hearts toward the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and we will listen to and obey His voice.”
25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance at Shechem.
26And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was in [the courtyard of] the sanctuary of the Lord.
27Joshua then said to all the people, “Look, this stone shall serve as a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us; so it shall be a witness against you, so that [afterward] you do not deny your God.”
