^14 (A)“Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in ^(B)sincerity and in truth, and ^(C)put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of ^[a]the River and ^(D)in Egypt. Serve the Lord!

²³ “Now therefore,” he said, ^(A)“put away the foreign gods which are among you, and ^(B)incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel.”

^16 (A)So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And ^(B)His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.
