Joshua 24:21 in Context — Joshua 24

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.

23 Tirai, pois, agora os deuses alheios que estão entre vós, e inclinai vosso coração ao SENHOR Deus de Israel.
