Joshua 24:19 in Context — Joshua 24
17 Car l’Éternel est notre Dieu; c’est lui qui nous a fait sortir du pays d’Égypte, de la maison de servitude, nous et nos pères; c’est lui qui a opéré sous nos yeux ces grands prodiges, et qui nous a gardés pendant toute la route que nous avons suivie et parmi tous les peuples au milieu desquels nous avons passé.
18 Il a chassé devant nous tous les peuples, et les Amoréens qui habitaient ce pays. Nous aussi, nous servirons l’Éternel, car il est notre Dieu.
19 Josué dit au peuple: Vous n’aurez pas la force de servir l’Éternel, car c’est un Dieu saint, c’est un Dieu jaloux; il ne pardonnera point vos transgressions et vos péchés.
20 Lorsque vous abandonnerez l’Éternel et que vous servirez des dieux étrangers, il reviendra vous faire du mal, et il vous consumera après vous avoir fait du bien.
21 Le peuple dit à Josué: Non! Car nous servirons l’Éternel.
