Joshua 24:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ It was the Lord, our God, who brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, the land of our bondage. He performed great wonders in our sight. He preserved us all along the journey that we made, and among all the people through whom we passed. ¹⁸ The Lord drove out all the people before us, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We will serve the Lord, for he is our God.”

¹⁹ But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God, he will not forgive your sins or your transgressions.
