Joshua 24:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ The people responded by saying, “Far be it from us^[a] to forsake the Lord in order to serve other gods! ¹⁷ For the Lord our God, he is the one who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, where we were slaves. He is the one who performed these great signs right before our eyes and protected us on the whole journey that we made and among all the peoples through whom we passed. ¹⁸ The Lord drove out of our presence all the peoples and the Amorites who were living in the land. We too will serve the Lord, because he is our God!”
