Judges 2:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Whenever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn to them; and they were bitterly distressed.^(A)

¹⁶ But the Lord raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hands of those who robbed them.

¹⁷ And yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down to them. They turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not so.
