Judges 2:10-20

[10] And also all that generation  were gathered  unto their fathers:  and there arose  another  generation  after  them, which knew  not the LORD,  nor yet the works  which he had done  for Israel.  [11] And the children  of Israel  did  evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  and served  Baalim:  [12] And they forsook  the LORD  God  of their fathers,  which brought them out  of the land  of Egypt,  other  gods,  of the people  that were round about  them, and bowed  themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD  to anger.  [13] And they forsook  the LORD,  and served  Baal  and Ashtaroth.  [14] And the anger  of the LORD  was hot  against Israel,  and he delivered  them into the hands  of spoilers  that spoiled  them, and he sold  them into the hands  of their enemies  round about,  so that they could  not any longer  stand  before  their enemies.  [15] Whithersoever they went out,  the hand  of the LORD  was against them for evil,  as the LORD  had said,  and as the LORD  had sworn  unto them: and they were greatly  distressed.  [16] Nevertheless the LORD  raised up  judges,  which delivered  them out of the hand  of those that spoiled  [17] And yet they would not hearken  unto their judges,  but they went a whoring  after  other  gods,  and bowed  themselves unto them: they turned  quickly  out of the way  which their fathers  walked in,  obeying  the commandments  of the LORD;  but they did  not so.

[19] And it came to pass, when the judge  that they returned,  and corrupted  themselves more than their fathers,  other  gods  to serve  them, and to bow down  unto them; they ceased  not from their own doings,  nor from their stubborn  way.  [20] And the anger  of the LORD  was hot  against Israel;  and he said,  Because that this people  hath transgressed  my covenant  which I commanded  their fathers,  and have not hearkened  unto my voice;
