¹⁹ For I have ^[a](A)chosen him, so that he may ^(B)command his children and his household after him to ^(C)keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham ^(D)what He has spoken about him.”

¹⁵ But if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or ^(A)the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
