Judges 2:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; but you shall break down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

³ So now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.

⁴ When the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
