Judges 2:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ Wherever they went, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken and ^(A)as the Lord had sworn to them, so that they were severely distressed.

^16 (B)Then the Lord raised up judges ^[a]who delivered them from the hands of those who plundered them. ¹⁷ Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way ^(C)in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the Lord; they did not do as their fathers.
