Judges 2:16-19

16Then the LORDH3068 raised upH6965 judgesH8199,1 who saved themH3467 from the handsH3027 of those who plundered themH8154.

17Israel, howeverH1571, did notH3808 listenH8085 toH413 their judgesH8199. InsteadH3588, they prostitutedH2181 themselves withH310 otherH312 godsH430 and bowed downH7812 to them. They quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 fromH4480 the wayH1870 of their fathersH1, who had walkedH1980 in obedienceH8085 to the LORD’sH3068 commandmentsH4687; they did notH3808 do as their fathersH6213H3651 had done.

18WheneverH3588 the LORDH3068 raised upH6965 a judgeH8199 for the Israelites, He wasH1961 withH5973 that judgeH8199 and saved themH3467 from the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 while the judgeH8199H3588 was still aliveH3605H3117; for the LORDH3068 was moved to pityH5162 by their groaningH5009 under thoseH6440 who oppressed themH3905 and afflicted themH1766. 19But whenH1961 the judgeH8199H7725 diedH4191, the Israelites became even more corruptH7843 than their fathersH1, goingH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serve themH5647 and bow downH7812 to them. They would notH3808 give upH5307 their evil practicesH4611 and stubbornH7186 waysH1870.
