Exodus 19:3-8 - Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD
called to him from the mountain and said, "This is what you are to say to
the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen what I did to
Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then
out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you
will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you
are to speak to the Israelites." So Moses went back and summoned the
elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded
him to speak. The people all responded together, "We will do everything the
LORD has said." So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.

Joshua 23:16 - If you violate the
covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve
other gods and bow down to them, the LORD's anger
will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you."
