The Old Testament Book of Joshua
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to
all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success
Joshua 1:8 KJV
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day
whom ye will serve; ...
Joshua 24:15 KJV
