Judges 2:2-4
King James Version
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

2 (A)and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; (B)you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice.
