Joshua 24:19-24

New International Version

¹⁹ Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God;^(A) he is a jealous God.^(B) He will not forgive^(C) your rebellion^(D) and your sins. ²⁰ If you forsake the Lord^(E) and serve foreign gods, he will turn^(F) and bring disaster^(G) on you and make an end of you,^(H) after he has been good to you.”

²¹ But the people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve the Lord.”

²² Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses^(I) against yourselves that you have chosen^(J) to serve the Lord.”

“Yes, we are witnesses,^(K)” they replied.

²³ “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods^(L) that are among you and yield your hearts^(M) to the Lord, the God of Israel.”

²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”^(N)
