18 And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. aWe also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”
19 But Joshua said to the people, a“You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a bholy God. He is ca jealous God; dHe will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20 aIf you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, bthen He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.”
21 And the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the Lord!”
22 So Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that ayou have chosen the Lord for yourselves, to serve Him.” And they said, “We are witnesses!”
