¹⁵ If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
