Joshua 24:18-24 and the Lord hath driven out from before us the Amorites, and all the nations who dwelt in this land; therefore we will serve none but the Lord; for he is our God.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ and the Lord hath driven out from before us the Amorites, and all the nations who dwelt in this land; therefore we will serve none but the Lord; for he is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, You may not be able to serve the Lord, because he is the Holy God, and will be zealous. He will not bear with your sins and your iniquities. ²⁰ When you forsake the Lord, and serve other gods, he will come and afflict you; and consume you, proportionally to the good he hath done you. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, Nay, we will serve none but the Lord. ²² Then Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord to serve him. ²³ Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and hearken to his voice.
