If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 24 of Joshua. Joshua warns that the people must not treat their commitment to God as a superficial declaration. The Lord is holy and jealous, and unfaithfulness will have consequences. Israel insists that it will serve the Lord, and Joshua records this declaration as a witness against them. The scene emphasizes the seriousness of the covenant: choosing to serve God means abandoning other gods and accepting responsibility for the publicly declared decision.
