Joshua 24:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ The people replied, “We would never leave the Lord to serve other gods! ¹⁷ The Lord our God brought our fathers and us out of slavery in Egypt, and we saw the miracles that he performed. He kept us safe wherever we went among all the nations through which we passed. ¹⁸ As we advanced into this land, the Lord drove out all the Amorites who lived here. So we also will serve the Lord; he is our God.”
