Joshua 24:14-21
(Memorization Scripture15)
14 “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of [e]the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

16 So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; 17 for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. 18 And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”

19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20 If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.”

21 And the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the Lord!”

One chapter of Proverbs per day in January: Proverbs 25

約書亞記 24:14-21
(背誦經文15)
14 「現在你們要敬畏耶和華，誠心實意地侍奉他，將你們列祖在大河那邊和在埃及所侍奉的神除掉，去侍奉耶和華。 15 若是你們以侍奉耶和華為不好，今日就可以選擇所要侍奉的，是你們列祖在大河那邊所侍奉的神呢，是你們所住這地的亞摩利人的神呢？至於我和我家，我們必定侍奉耶和華。」

16 百姓回答說：「我們斷不敢離棄耶和華去侍奉別神！ 17 因耶和華我們的神曾將我們和我們列祖從埃及地的為奴之家領出來，在我們眼前行了那些大神蹟，在我們所行的道上、所經過的諸國，都保護了我們。 18 耶和華又把住此地的亞摩利人都從我們面前趕出去。所以，我們必侍奉耶和華，因為他是我們的神。」
19 約書亞對百姓說：「你們不能侍奉耶和華！因為他是聖潔的神，是忌邪的神，必不赦免你們的過犯罪惡。 20 你們若離棄耶和華去侍奉外邦神，耶和華在降福之後，必轉而降禍於你們，把你們滅絕。」 21 百姓回答約書亞說：「不然，我們定要侍奉耶和華。」
