Judges 2:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 But yet they would not obey their Judges for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, and turned quickly out of the [a]way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the Lord: they did not so.
18 And when the Lord had raised them up Judges, the Lord was with the Judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the Judge (for the Lord [b]had compassion of their groanings, [c]because of them that oppressed them and tormented them.)
19 Yet (A)when the Judge was dead, they returned, and [d]did worse than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and worship them: they ceased not from their own inventions, nor from their rebellious way.

New International Version
17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(A) themselves to other gods(B) and worshiped them.(C) They quickly turned(D) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(E) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(F) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(G) because of their groaning(H) under those who oppressed and afflicted(I) them. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt(J) than those of their ancestors,(K) following other gods and serving and worshiping them.(L) They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn(M) ways.
