Joshua 24:15

15 If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose 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."

1357. There are three general kinds of idolatry. The first is associated with self-love, the second with love of the world, and the third with the desire for pleasures. All idolatrous worship has one or another of these as its end in view. The worship of such people has no other ends in view, for they neither know nor care about eternal life, and even deny its existence. These three kinds of idolatry are meant by 'the three sons of Terah'.
