Judges 2:10–17

10 When all that generation had 5been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who odid not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 Then the children of Israel did pevil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; 12 and they qforsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed rother gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they sbowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger. 13 They forsook the Lord tand served 6Baal and the 7Ashtoreths. 14 uAnd the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He vdelivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and wHe sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they xcould no longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had ysworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

16 Nevertheless, zthe Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they aplayed the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the Lord; they did not do so.
