Judges 2

Israel Rebuked

1

Now  athe angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 cameh5927 up from Gilgalh1537 to  bBochimh1066. And he saidh559, " cI broughth5927 you up out of Egypth4714 and ledh935 you into the landh776 whichh834 I have swornh7650 to your fathersh1; and I saidh559, ` dI will neverh3808h5769 breakh6565a My covenanth1285 with you,

2

and as for you,  ayou shall makeh3772 noh3808 covenanth1285 with the inhabitantsh3427 of thish2088 landh776;  byou shall tearh5422 downh5422 their altarsh4196.' But you have not  1obeyedh8085h6963 Me; whath4100 is thish2088 you have doneh6213a?

3

"Therefore I alsoh1571 saidh559, ` aI will not driveh1644 them out beforeh4480h6440 you; but they will  1becomeh1961  bas thorns in your sidesh6654 and their godsh430 will be a snareh4170 to you.' "

4

When the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 theseh428 wordsh1697 to allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, the peopleh5971a liftedh5375 up their voicesh6963 and wepth1058.

5

So they namedh7121h8034 that placeh4725  1Bochimh1066; and thereh8033 they sacrificedh2076 to the LORDh3068.

Joshua Dies

6

 aWhen Joshuah3091 had dismissedh7971 the peopleh5971a, the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 wenth1980 eachh376 to his inheritanceh5159 to possessh3423 the landh776.

7

The peopleh5971a servedh5647 the LORDh3068 allh3605 the daysh3117 of Joshuah3091, and allh3605 the daysh3117 of the eldersh2205 whoh834  1survivedh748h3117h310 Joshuah3091, whoh834 had seenh7200 allh3605 the greath1419 workh4639 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He had doneh6213a for Israelh3478.

8

Then Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126, the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068, diedh4191 at the ageh1121 of one hundredh3967 and tenh6235.

9

And they buriedh6912 him in the territoryh1366 of  ahis inheritanceh5159 in Timnath-heresh8556a, in the hillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669, northh6828 of Mounth2022 Gaashh1608.

10

Allh3605 that generationh1755 alsoh1571 were gatheredh622 to their fathersh1; and there aroseh6965 anotherh312 generationh1755 afterh310 them whoh834  adid not knowh3045 the LORDh3068, norh1571 yeth1571 the workh4639 whichh834 He had doneh6213a for Israelh3478.

Israel Serves Baals

11

Then the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 didh6213a  aevilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068 and  1servedh5647 the  bBaalsh1168a,

12

and  athey forsookh5800a the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of their fathersh1, who had broughth3318 them out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, and followedh1980h310 otherh312 godsh430 from among the godsh430 of the peoplesh5971a whoh834 were aroundh5439 them, and bowedh7812 themselves downh7812 to them; thus they provokedh3707 the LORDh3068 to angerh3707.

13

So they forsookh5800a the LORDh3068 and  aservedh5647 Baalh1168a and the Ashtarothh6252b.

14

 aThe angerh639 of the LORDh3068 burnedh2734 against Israelh3478, and He gaveh5414 them into the handsh3027 of plunderersh8154 who plunderedh8155 them; and  bHe soldh4376 them into the handsh3027 of their enemiesh340 aroundh5439 them, so that they couldh3201 noh3808 longerh5750 standh5975 beforeh6440 their enemiesh340.

15

Whereverh3605h834 they wenth3318, the handh3027 of the LORDh3068 was against them for evilh7463a, as the LORDh3068 had spokenh1696 and  aas the LORDh3068 had swornh7650 to them, so that they were severelyh3966 distressedh6887a.

16

 aThen the LORDh3068 raisedh6965 up judgesh8199  1who deliveredh3467 them from the handsh3027 of those who plunderedh8154 them.

17

Yeth1571 they did not listenh8085 to their judgesh8199, for they playedh2181 the harloth2181 afterh310 otherh312 godsh430 and bowedh7812 themselves downh7812 to them. They turnedh5493 asideh5493 quicklyh4118b from the wayh1870  ain whichh834 their fathersh1 had walkedh1980 in obeyingh8085 the commandmentsh4687 of the LORDh3068; they didh6213a not doh6213a as their fathers.

18

Whenh3588 the LORDh3068 raisedh6965 up judgesh8199 for them,  athe LORDh3068 was with the judgeh8199 and deliveredh3467 them from the handh3027 of their enemiesh340 allh3605 the daysh3117 of the judgeh8199; for the LORDh3068 was  bmovedh5162 to pityh5162 by their groaningh5009 becauseh4480h6440 of those who oppressedh3905 and afflictedh1766 them.

19

But it cameh1961 about when the judgeh8199 diedh4194, that they would turnh7725 backh7725 and acth7843 moreh4480 corruptlyh7843 thanh4480 their fathersh1, in followingh1980h310 otherh312 godsh430 to serveh5647 them and bowh7812 downh7812 to them; they did not abandonh5307 their practicesh4611 or their stubbornh7186 waysh1870.

20

 aSo the angerh639 of the LORDh3068 burnedh2734 against Israelh3478, and He saidh559, "Becauseh3282h834 thish2088 nationh1471 has transgressedh5674a My covenanth1285 whichh834 I commandedh6680 their fathersh1 and has not listenedh8085 to My voiceh6963,

21

 aI alsoh1571 will noh3808 longerh3254 driveh3423 out beforeh4480h6440 them anyh376 of the nationsh1471 whichh834 Joshuah3091 lefth5800a when he diedh4191,

22

in orderh4616 to  atesth5254 Israelh3478 by them, whether they will keeph8104 the wayh1870 of the LORDh3068 to walkh1980 in it as their fathersh1  1didh8104, orh518 not."

23

So the LORDh3068 allowed thoseh428 nationsh1471 to remainh5117, not drivingh3423 them out quicklyh4118b; and He did not giveh5414 them into the handh3027 of Joshuah3091.
