Joshua 24:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ If you think it’s the wrong thing for you to serve the Lord, then choose for yourselves today whom you will serve—the gods whom your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates^[a] River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose territories you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

The Response of the People

¹⁶ In response, the people said, “Far be it from us that we should abandon the Lord to serve other gods, ¹⁷ since the Lord our God is the one who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, from a life of slavery. He did those great things right in front of us, preserving us along the way that we traveled and among all the peoples through whose territory we passed.
