Joshua 24:21 Context
19And Ioshua said vnto the people, Ye cannot serue the Lord: for hee is an holy God: he is a ielous God, he will not forgiue your transgressions nor your sinnes. 20If yee forsake the Lord, and serue strange gods, then he will turne, and doe you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. 21And the people said vnto Ioshua, Nay, but we will serue the Lord. 22And Ioshua said vnto the people, Yee are witnesses against your selues, that yee haue chosen you the Lord, to serue him. And they said, We are witnesses. 23Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and encline your heart vnto the Lord God of Israel.
