19. And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah, for he is a holy God he is a jealous ·God he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20. If ye forsake Jehovah, 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 to Joshua, No; but we will serve Jehovah.
22. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
