Judges 2:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ Wherever they went, the Lord worked^[a] against them to bring misfortune, just as the Lord had warned, and just as the Lord had promised them. As a result, they suffered greatly.

¹⁶ Then the Lord raised up leaders,^[b] who delivered Israel^[c] from domination by their marauders. ¹⁷ But they didn’t listen to their leaders, because they were committing spiritual immorality by following other gods and worshiping them. They quickly turned away from the road on which their ancestors had walked in obedience to the commands of the Lord. They didn’t follow their example.
