Judges 2:10-17

10 And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 ^aAnd the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. 12 ^bAnd they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. ^cThey went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and ^dbowed down to them. ^eAnd they provoked the Lord to anger. 13 They abandoned the Lord ^fand served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. 14 ^gSo the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he ^hgave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. ⁱAnd he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, ^jso that they could no longer withstand their enemies. 15 Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, ^kand as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.

The Lord Raises Up Judges

16 ^lThen the Lord raised up judges, ^mwho saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for ⁿthey whored after other gods and bowed down to them. ^oThey soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so.

Psalms 78:58-59

58 For they ^pprovoked him to anger with their ^qhigh places;
they ^rmoved him to jealousy with their ^sidols.
59 When God heard, he was full of ^twrath,
and he utterly rejected Israel.

Psalms 106:38

38 they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was ^upolluted with blood.
