Judges 2:1-3

The Message

2 ^1-2 God’s angel went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you out of Egypt; I led you to the land that I promised to your fathers; and I said, I’ll never break my covenant with you—never! And you’re never to make a covenant with the people who live in this land. Tear down their altars! But you haven’t obeyed me! What’s this that you’re doing?

³ “So now I’m telling you that I won’t drive them out before you. They’ll trip you up and their gods will become a trap.”
