Homegoods has a picture with a bible verse in Spanish.  The verse is Joshua 24:15.  The translation is "Pero si a ustedes les parece mal servir al senor".  That's "If you feel like it, serve the Lord".That's a terrible translation.  The whole verse is:"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of
the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we
will serve the Lord."The portion in question is "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". 4951

@fcabanski: That is NOT the translation. "Pero si a ustedes les parece mal servir al senor" is the correct translation for "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord"Except it should be Señor, nor senor.
