Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach. For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.

13. And I know for certain that Jehovah will no more drive out these Gentiles before you, but they will be for a trap and a snare for you, even a thorn[1] in your sides and a prick in your eyes.
14. Now, behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and with all your soul that not one thing has failed of all the good things that Jehovah your God has said concerning you. They all have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.

14. Now, therefore, fear Jehovah and serve Him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the river and in Egypt, and you serve Jehovah.
15. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve, whether it be the gods that your fathers served who were beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell in. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.
¶16. And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah to serve other gods,
17.for Jehovah our God, He brought us up, we and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from a house of slavery, and who before our eyes did those great signs, and preserved us in all the way that we went, even among all the nations through the midst of whom we passed,
18.and Jehovah drove out before us all the nations, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land. Therefore, we also will serve Jehovah, for He is our God!”
¶19. But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Jehovah, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions and your sins.
20.If you forsake Jehovah and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you evil and consume you, after having done you good.”
21. And the people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve Jehovah!”
22. And Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves Jehovah, to serve Him.” And they said, “We are witnesses!”
23. “Then, put away now the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to Jehovah, the God of Israel.”
24. And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve Jehovah our God, and His voice will we obey!”
