Joshua 23:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Therefore be very steadfast to observe and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right nor to the left, ⁷ so that you may not be mixed with these nations left here among you, or make mention of the names of their gods, or swear by them, or serve them, or bow yourselves down to them, ⁸ but hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
