Joshua 24:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God, he will not forgive your sins or your transgressions. ²⁰ If you turn away from the Lord to serve foreign gods, then he will turn away from you. He will punish you and wipe you out, even after the good that he has done for you.”

²¹ The people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve the Lord.”
