Judges 2:11-17
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. 13They 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. 15Whenever 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. 17Yet 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.Judges 10:6
