14 “So now, revere Yahweh and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness; remove the gods that your ancestors[b] served beyond the river[c] and in Egypt, and serve Yahweh. 15 But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors[d] served beyond the river,[e] or the gods of the Amorites[f] in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh.”
