Joshua 24:19-24
King James Version
Joshua 24:19-24
King James Version
19 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.
20 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.
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the Lord.
22 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.
23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel.
24 And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

New International Version
19 Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God;(A) he is a jealous God.(B) He will not forgive(C) your rebellion(D) and your sins. 20 If you forsake the Lord(E) and serve foreign gods, he will turn(F) and bring disaster(G) on you and make an end of you,(H) after he has been good to you.”
21 But the people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve the Lord.”
22 Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses(I) against yourselves that you have chosen(J) to serve the Lord.”
“Yes, we are witnesses,(K)” they replied.
23 “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods(L) that are among you and yield your hearts(M) to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”(N)
