Judges 2:20-23

20The Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and he declared, “Because this nation has violated my covenant that I made with their ancestors and disobeyed me,

21I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.

22I did this to test Israel and to see whether or not they would keep the Lord’s way by walking in it, as their ancestors had.”

23The Lord left these nations and did not drive them out immediately. He did not hand them over to Joshua.
