Joshua 24:15-22

15But ifH518 it is unpleasingH7451 in your sightH5869 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, then chooseH977 for yourselves this dayH3117 whomH4310 you will serveH5647, whether theH518 godsH430 your fathersH1 servedH5647 beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104, orH518 the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 youH859 are livingH3427. As for meH595 and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068!”

16The peopleH5971H559 repliedH6030, “Far be itH2486 from us to forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430! 17ForH3588 the LORDH3068 our GodH430H1931 broughtH5927 usH853 andH853 our fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650, andH834 performedH6213 theseH428 greatH1419 signsH226 before our eyesH5869. He also protected usH8104 throughoutH3605 our journeyH1870 and among allH3605 the nationsH5971 through whichH834 we traveledH5674H7130. 18And the LORDH3068 drove outH1644 before usH6440 allH3605 the nationsH5971, including the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 in the landH776. WeH587 tooH1571 will serveH5647 the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 HeH1931 is our GodH430!”

19But JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 the peopleH5971, “You are notH3808 ableH3201 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, forH3588 HeH1931 is a holyH6918 GodH430; HeH1931 is a jealousH7072 GodH410; He will notH3808 forgiveH5375 your rebellionH6588 or your sinsH2403. 20IfH3588 you forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 and serveH5647 foreignH5236 godsH430, He will turnH7725 and bring disasterH7489 on you and consumeH3615 youH853, even afterH310 He has been goodH3190 to you.”

21“NoH3808H3588!” repliedH559 the peopleH5971H413. “We will serveH5647 the LORDH3068!”

22Then JoshuaH3091H413 toldH559 them, “YouH859 are witnessesH5707 against yourselves thatH3588 youH859 have chosenH977 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068.”

“We are witnessesH5707!” they saidH559.
