Joshua 24:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ I gave you that land where you had not worked. I gave you cities that you did not have to build. And now you live in that land and in those cities, and you eat from vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant.’”

¹⁴ Then Joshua said to the people, “Now ·respect [fear; be in awe of] the Lord and serve him ·fully [faithfully; in truth] and sincerely. ·Throw [Put] away the gods that your ancestors worshiped on the other side of the ·Euphrates River [^LRiver] and in Egypt. Serve the Lord. ¹⁵ But if ·you don’t want [^Lit is undesirable/evil in your eyes] to serve the Lord, you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve. You may serve the gods that your ancestors worshiped when they lived on the other side of the ·Euphrates River [^LRiver], or you may serve the gods of the Amorites who lived in this land. As for me and my ·family [^Lhouse], we will serve the Lord.”
