Judges 2:7-17

7The peopleH5971 servedH5647 the LordH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091, and allH3605 the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 whoH834 1survivedH748H3117H310 JoshuaH3091, whoH834 had seenH7200 allH3605 the greatH1419 workH4639 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478. 8Then JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LordH3068, diedH4191 at the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 and tenH6235. 9And they buriedH6912 him in the territoryH1366 of 2his inheritanceH5159 in Timnath-heresH8556, in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, northH6828 of MountH2022 GaashH1608. 10AllH3605 that generationH1755 alsoH1571 were gatheredH622 to their fathersH1; and there aroseH6965 anotherH312 generationH1755 afterH310 them whoH834 3did not knowH3045 the LordH3068, norH1571 yetH1571 the workH4639 whichH834 He had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478.

11Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 4evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 and 5servedH5647 the 6BaalsH1168, 12and 7they forsookH5800 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, who had broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followedH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 from among the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 were aroundH5439 them, and bowedH7812 themselves downH7812 to them; thus they provokedH3707 the LordH3068 to angerH3707. 13So they forsookH5800 the LordH3068 and 8servedH5647 BaalH1168 and the AshtarothH6252. 149The angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He gaveH5414 them into the handsH3027 of plunderersH8154 who plunderedH8155 them; and 10He soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH340 aroundH5439 them, so that they couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 standH5975 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340. 15WhereverH3605H834 they wentH3318, the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against them for evilH7463, as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 and 11as the LordH3068 had swornH7650 to them, so that they were severelyH3966 distressedH6887.

1612Then the LordH3068 raisedH6965 up judgesH8199 13who deliveredH3467 them from the handsH3027 of those who plunderedH8154 them. 17YetH1571 they did not listenH8085 to their judgesH8199, for they playedH2181 the harlotH2181 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 and bowedH7812 themselves downH7812 to them. They turnedH5493 asideH5493 quicklyH4118 from the wayH1870 14in whichH834 their fathersH1 had walkedH1980 in obeyingH8085 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068; they didH6213 not doH6213 as their fathers.
