Judges 2:12

10 When all that generation had¹ been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who ^adid not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 Then the children of Israel did ^aevil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals;

12 and they ^aforsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed ^bother gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they ^cbowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.

13 They forsook the Lord ^aand served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

14 ^aAnd the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He ^bdelivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and ^cHe sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they ^dcould 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 ^asworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

16 Nevertheless, ^athe 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.

18 And when the Lord raised up judges for them, ^athe Lord was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; ^bfor the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.

19 And it came to pass, ^awhen the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

20 Then the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and He said, “Because this nation has ^atransgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,

21 I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua ^aleft when he died,
