Judges 2:7-17

7And the peopleH5971 servedH5647 the LORDH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091, and allH3605 the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 that outlivedH310 JoshuaH3091, who had seenH7200 allH3605 the greatH1419 workH4639 of the LORDH3068, that he had wroughtH4639 for IsraelH3478.

8And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191, beingH1121 an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121.

9And they buriedH6912 him in the borderH1366 of his inheritanceH5159 in Timnath-heres, in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, on the northH6828 of the mountainH2022 of GaashH1608.

10And also allH3605 that generationH1755 were gatheredH622 unto their fathersH1: and there aroseH6965 anotherH312 generationH1755 afterH310 them, whichH834 knewH3045 notH3808 the LORDH3068, norH3808 yet the workH4639 whichH834 he had wroughtH4639 for IsraelH3478.

11And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 the Baalim:

12and they forsook the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, whichH834 broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followedH310 otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peoplesH5971 that were roundH5439 aboutH5439 them, and bowedH7812 themselvesH310 downH7812 unto them: and they provokedH3707 the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.

13And they forsook the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and the AshtarothH6252.

14And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 IsraelH3478, and he deliveredH5414 them intoH3027 the handsH3027 of spoilers that spoiled them, and he soldH4376 them intoH3027 the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH5439, soH5414 that they couldH3201 notH3808 anyH5750 longerH5750 standH5975 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341.

15Whithersoever they wentH3318 outH3318, the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was againstH1696 them for evilH7451, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696, and as the LORDH3068 had swornH7650 unto them: and they were sore distressed.

16And the LORDH3068 raisedH6965 upH6965 judgesH8199, which savedH3467 them outH6965 of the handH3027 of thoseH3467 that spoiled them.

17And yet they hearkened notH3808 unto their judgesH8199, for they wentH1980 a whoring afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 themselvesH310 downH7812 unto them: they turnedH5493 asideH5493 quicklyH4118 outH4480 of the wayH1870 whereinH834 their fathersH1 walkedH1980, obeyingH8085 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068; but they didH6213 notH3808 soH3651.
