Judges 2:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² and they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them. They bowed down to them, and they angered the Lord. ¹³ They abandoned the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtartes.^[a]

¹⁴ So the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of raiders, who plundered them. He sold them into the hand of their enemies around them, and they were not able to stand up in the face of their enemies.
