*
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD ,
choose you this day whom ye will serve ;
whether the gods which your fathers 1 served that (
were )
on the other side of the flood ,
or the gods of the Amorites ,
in whose land ye dwell :
but as for me and my house ,
we will serve the LORD .
*
And the people answered and said ,
God forbid that we should forsake the LORD ,
to serve other gods ;
*
For the LORD our God ,
he (
it is )
that brought us up and our fathers 1 out of the land of Egypt ,
from the house of bondage ,
and which did those great signs in our sight ,
and preserved us in all the way wherein we went ,
and among all the people through whom we passed :
*
And the LORD drave out from before us all the people ,
even the Amorites which dwelt in the land : (
therefore )
will we also serve the LORD ;
for he (
is )
our God .
*
And Joshua said unto the people ,
Ye cannot serve the LORD :
for he (
is )
an holy God ;
he (
is )
a jealous God ;
he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins .
*
If ye forsake the LORD ,
and serve strange gods ,
then he will turn and do you hurt ,
and consume you ,
after that he hath done you good .
*
And the people said unto Joshua ,
Nay ;
but we will serve the LORD .
*
And Joshua said unto the people ,
Ye (
are )
witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD ,
to serve him .
And they said , (
We are )
witnesses .
