Joshua 24:15-22

15And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 YhwhH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the RiverH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 YhwhH3068.

16And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, God forbidH2486 that we should forsakeH5800 YhwhH3068, to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430;

17For YhwhH3068 our GodH430, he it is that brought us upH5927 and our fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, and which didH6213 those greatH1419 signsH226 in our sightH5869, and preservedH8104 us in all the wayH1870 wherein we wentH1980, and among all the peopleH5971 throughH7130 whom we passedH5674:

18And YhwhH3068 drave outH1644 from beforeH6440 us all the peopleH5971, even the AmoritesH567 which dweltH3427 in the landH776: therefore will we also serveH5647 YhwhH3068; for he is our GodH430.

19And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye cannotH3201 serveH5647 YhwhH3068: for he is an holyH6918 GodH430; he is a jealousH7072 GodH410; he will not forgiveH5375 your transgressionsH6588 nor your sinsH2403.1

20If ye forsakeH5800 YhwhH3068, and serveH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430, then he will turnH7725 and do you hurtH7489, and consumeH3615 you, afterH310 that he hath done you goodH3190.

21And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Nay; but we will serveH5647 YhwhH3068.

22And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 against yourselves that ye have chosenH977 you YhwhH3068, to serveH5647 him. And they saidH559, We are witnessesH5707.
