Judges 2:10-23

10And alsoH1571 all that generationH1755 were gatheredH622 unto their fathersH1: and there aroseH6965 another generationH1755 after them, that knewH3045 not Jehovah, nor yet the workH4639 which he had wrought for IsraelH3478.

11And the children of IsraelH3478 did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, and servedH5647 the Baalim; 12and they forsook Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, who broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followed otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 that were roundH5439 about them, and bowedH7812 themselves downH7812 unto them: and they provokedH3707 Jehovah to angerH3707. 13And they forsook Jehovah, and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and the AshtarothH6252. 14And the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against IsraelH3478, and he delivered them into the handsH3027 of spoilers that despoiled them; and he soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 roundH5439 about, so that they could not any longer standH5975 before their enemiesH341. 15Whithersoever they wentH3318 out, the handH3027 of Jehovah wasH1961 against them for evilH7451, as Jehovah had spokenH1696, and as Jehovah had swornH7650 unto them: and they were sore distressed.

16And Jehovah raisedH6965 up judgesH8199, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of those that despoiled them. 17And yet they hearkened not unto their judgesH8199; for they playedH2181 the harlot after otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 themselves downH7812 unto them: they turnedH5493 asideH5493 quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 wherein their fathersH1 walkedH1980, obeying the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah; but they did not soH3651. 18And when Jehovah raisedH6965 them up judgesH8199, then Jehovah wasH1961 with the judgeH8199, and savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH341 all the daysH3117 of the judgeH8199: for it repentedH5162 Jehovah because of their groaningH5009 by reason of them that oppressedH3905 them and vexed them. 19But it came to pass, when the judgeH8199 wasH1961 deadH4191, that they turnedH7725 backH7725, and dealt more corruptlyH7843 than their fathersH1, in following otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to bowH7812 downH7812 unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubbornH7186 wayH1870. 20And the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against IsraelH3478; and he saidH559, Because this nationH1471 have transgressed my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 their fathersH1, and have not hearkened unto my voiceH6963; 21I alsoH1571 will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nationsH1471 that JoshuaH3091 leftH5800 whenH834 he diedH4191; 22that by them I may prove IsraelH3478, whether they will keepH8104 the wayH1870 of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathersH1 did keepH8104 it, or not. 23So Jehovah left those nationsH1471, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the handH3027 of JoshuaH3091.
