Judges 2:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them to bring disaster, as the Lord had said and as He had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

¹⁶ Then the Lord raised up judges who delivered them from the hand of those who plundered them. ¹⁷ Yet they would not listen to their judges, for they prostituted themselves to other gods and worshipped them. They quickly turned aside from the path their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord. They did not do as their fathers had done.
