Judges 2:17-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ Yet they did not listen to their judges either, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way ^(A)in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of Yahweh; they did not do as their fathers. ¹⁸ Now when Yahweh raised up judges for them, ^(B)Yahweh was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for Yahweh was ^(C)moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and suppressed them. ¹⁹ But it happened when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their stubborn ways.
