Joshua 24:20 in Context — Joshua 24
18 E o SENHOR expulsou de diante de nós a todos os povos, e aos amorreus que habitavam na terra: nós, pois, também serviremos ao SENHOR, porque ele é nosso Deus.
19 Então Josué disse ao povo: Não podereis servir ao SENHOR, porque ele é Deus santo, e Deus zeloso; não tolerará vossas rebeliões e vossos pecados.
20 Se deixardes ao SENHOR e servirdes a deuses alheios, se voltará, e vos maltratará, e vos consumirá, depois que vos fez bem.
21 O povo então disse a Josué: Não, antes ao SENHOR serviremos.
22 E Josué respondeu ao povo: Vós sois testemunhas contra vós mesmos, de que escolhestes para vós ao SENHOR para servir-lhe. E eles responderam: Testemunhas somos.
