Judges 2:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Whenever they marched out to battle, the hand of the Eternal One was raised against them in evil, as He had warned and promised them, and they were in anguish.

¹⁶ But the Eternal appointed judges among them, leaders and liberators who rescued the Israelites from their enemies who plundered them. ¹⁷ Even then the people of Israel did not listen to their judges, but instead passionately pursued other gods and bowed down to them. How quickly they turned from the faithfulness exhibited by their ancestors in obeying the Eternal’s commandments. This younger generation did not follow their ancestors’ example.
