²⁴ Thou shalt not bow·​·down thyself to their gods, and shalt not serve them, and shalt not do according·​·to their deeds; for breaking·​·down thou shalt break· them ·down, and breaking thou shalt break their statues.

¹⁵ And if it be·​·evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve; whether the gods whom your fathers served that were across the river, or the gods of the Amorite, in whose land you^◦ dwell; but as for me^▵ and my house, we will serve Jehovah.
