Judges 2:18-19

18And when the Lord raised up judges for them, 1the Lord was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was 2moved to pity by their groaning because of those who tormented and oppressed them.

19But it came about, when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their obstinate ways.
