Judges 2:11-23

11Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 1evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 and 2servedH5647 the 3BaalsH1168, 12and 4they abandonedH5800 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, who had broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and they followedH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 from the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 whoH834 were aroundH5439 them, and bowedH2331 downH2331 to them; so they provokedH3707 the LordH3068 toH3707 angerH3707. 13They abandonedH5800 the LordH3068 and 5servedH5647 BaalH1168 and the AshtarothH6252. 146Then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to plunderersH8154, and they plunderedH8155 them; and 7He soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH340 aroundH5439 them, so that they couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 standH5975 8againstH6440 their enemiesH340. 15WhereverH3605H834 they wentH3318, the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was against them for 9evilH7463, as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 and 10justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had swornH7650 to them, so that they wereH6887 severelyH3966 distressedH6887.

1611Then the LordH3068 raisedH6965 upH6965 judgesH8199 12who savedH3467 them from the handsH3027 of those who plunderedH8154 them. 17YetH1571 they did not listenH8085 to their judgesH8199, for they 13committedH2181 infidelityH2181 withH310 otherH312 godsH430 and bowedH2331 downH2331 to them. They turnedH5493 asideH5493 quicklyH4118 from the wayH1870 14in whichH834 their fathersH1 had walkedH1980 in obeyingH8085 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068; they did not doH6213 the sameH3651 as their fathers. 18And whenH3588 the LordH3068 raisedH6965 upH6965 judgesH8199 for them, 15the LordH3068 was with the judgeH8199 and savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of their enemiesH340 allH3605 the daysH3117 of the judgeH8199; for the LordH3068 was 16movedH5162 toH5162 pityH5162 by their groaningH5009 becauseH4480H6440 of those who tormentedH3905 and oppressedH1766 them. 19But it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when the judgeH8199 diedH4194, that they would turnH7725 backH7725 and actH7843 moreH4480 corruptlyH7843 thanH4480 their fathersH1, in followingH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them and bowH2331 downH2331 to them; they did not abandonH5307 their practicesH4611 or their obstinateH7186 waysH1870. 2017So the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He saidH559, “BecauseH3282H834 thisH2088 nationH1471 has violatedH5674 My covenantH1285 whichH834 I commandedH6680 their fathersH1, and has not listenedH8085 to My voiceH6963, 2118I inH1571 turnH1571 will noH3808 longerH3254 driveH3423 outH3423 from them anyH376 of the nationsH1471 whichH834 JoshuaH3091 leftH5800 when he diedH4191, 22inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 19testH5254 IsraelH3478 by them, whether they will keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LordH3068 to walkH1980 in it as their fathersH1 20didH8104, orH518 not.” 23So the LordH3068 allowedH5117 thoseH428 nationsH1471 toH5117 remainH5117, not drivingH3423 them outH3423 quicklyH4118; and He did not handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to JoshuaH3091.
