Judges 2:20 DBY

¹⁸  Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them.

¹⁹  But whenever the judge died, they turned back and behaved worse than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them; they did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.

²⁰  So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, 'Because this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice,

²¹  I will not henceforth drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died,

²²  that by them I may test Israel, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the LORD as their fathers did, or not.'
