Judges 2:10-15

English Standard Version

¹⁰And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.

Israel's Unfaithfulness

¹¹^(A)And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. ¹²^(B)And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. ^(C)They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and ^(D)bowed down to them. ^(E)And they provoked the Lord to anger. ¹³They abandoned the Lord ^(F)and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. ¹⁴^(G)So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he ^(H)gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. ^(I)And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, ^(J)so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. ¹⁵Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, ^(K)and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.
