19
Yehoshua said to the people, You can't serve the LORD; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
20
If you forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he has done you good.
21
The people said to Yehoshua, No; but we will serve the LORD.
22
Yehoshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. They said, We are witnesses.
23
Now therefore put away, [said he], the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.
