Joshua 24:20 in Context — Joshua 24
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.
22 Josué dit au peuple: Vous êtes témoins contre vous-mêmes que c’est vous qui avez choisi l’Éternel pour le servir. Ils répondirent: Nous en sommes témoins.
