Joshua 24:15-24

15But ifH518 it is disagreeableH7451 in your sightH5869 to serveH5647 the LordH3068, chooseH977 for yourselves todayH3117 whomH4310 you will serveH5647: whetherH518 the godsH430 whichH834 your fathersH1 servedH5647, whichH834 were beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104, or 1the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 you are livingH3427; but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LordH3068.”

16The peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, “FarH2486 be it from us that we would abandonH5800 the LordH3068 to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430; 17for the LordH3068 our GodH430 is He who broughtH5927 us and our fathersH1 upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of slavesH5650, and didH6213 theseH428 greatH1419 signsH226 in our sightH5869 and watchedH8104 overH8104 us through allH3605 the wayH1870 in whichH834 we wentH1980 and among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 through whoseH834 midstH7130 we passedH5674. 18The LordH3068 droveH1644 outH1644 from beforeH6440 us allH3605 the peoplesH5971, even the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 in the landH776. We alsoH1571 will serveH5647 the LordH3068, for He is our GodH430.”

19Then JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “You will not beH3201 ableH3201 to serveH5647 the LordH3068, 2for He is a holyH6918 GodH430. He is 3a jealousH7072 GodH410; 4He will not forgiveH5375 your wrongdoingH6588 or your sinsH2403. 205IfH3588 you abandonH5800 the LordH3068 and serveH5647 foreignH5236 godsH430, then He will turnH7725 and doH7489 you harmH7489 and destroyH3615 you afterH310 He has doneH3190 goodH3190 to you.” 21And the peopleH5971 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “NoH3808, but we will serveH5647 the LordH3068.” 22So JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “You are witnessesH5707 against yourselves that 6you have chosenH977 for yourselves the LordH3068, to serveH5647 Him.” And they saidH559, “We are witnessesH5707.” 23“NowH6258 then, doH5493 awayH5493 with the foreignH5236 godsH430 whichH834 are in your midstH7130, and 7inclineH5186 your heartsH3824 to the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.” 24And 8the peopleH5971 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “We will serveH5647 the LordH3068 our GodH430 and 9obeyH8085 His voiceH6963.”
