24:20If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

24:21And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.

24:22And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

24:23Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

24:24And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

24:25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
