Joshua:24:18-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Now therefore put away , (
said he ),
the strange gods which (
are )
among you ,
and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel .
*
And the people said unto Joshua ,
The LORD our God will we serve ,
and his voice will we obey .
