24:19 Joshua warned 1 the people, “You will not keep worshiping 2 the Lord, for 3 he is a holy God. 4 He is a jealous God who will not forgive 5 your rebellion or your sins. 24:20 If 6 you abandon the Lord and worship 7 foreign gods, he will turn against you; 8 he will bring disaster on you and destroy you, 9 though he once treated you well.” 10
24:21 The people said to Joshua, “No! We really will 11 worship 12 the Lord!” 24:22 Joshua said to the people, “Do you agree to be witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to worship the Lord?” 13 They replied, “We are witnesses!” 14 24:23 Joshua said, 15 “Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to 16 the Lord God of Israel.”
24:24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship 17 the Lord our God and obey him.” 18
