Judges 2:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Moreover, that whole generation was gathered to their ancestors, and another generation grew up after them, who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

¹¹ Then the Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and worshipped the Baals; ¹² and they abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; they followed other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were all around them, and bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.
