Judges 2:20-23
Lexham English Bible
20 So the anger of Yahweh burned[a] against Israel, and he said, “Because this people transgressed my covenant that I commanded their ancestors,[b] and have not obeyed my voice, 21 I will not again drive out anyone from before them from the nations that Joshua left when he died, 22 in order to test Israel whether or not they would observe the way of Yahweh, to walk in it just as their ancestors[c] did.” 23 So Yahweh left those nations; he did not drive them out at once, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

Judges 2:20-23
American Standard Version
20 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died; 22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23 So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
