¹⁹ But when the ·judges [leaders; 2:16] died, the Israelites ·again sinned [returned to their corrupt ways] and worshiped other gods. They became worse than their ancestors. The Israelites were very stubborn and refused to change their evil ways.

²⁰ So the ·Lord became angry with [^Langer of the Lord burned against] the Israelites. He said, “These people have ·broken [violated] the ·agreement [covenant] I made with their ancestors. They have not listened to me. ²¹ I will no longer ·defeat [^Ldrive out before them] the nations who were left when Joshua died.
