Judges 2:11-16
11 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD,
and served the Baals; 12 and they forsook the LORD God of their
fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they
followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all
around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD
to anger. 13 They forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.
14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel. So He delivered
them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them
into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no
longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, the hand
of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and
as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.
16 Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered them out of
the hand of those who plundered them.
