Judges 2:10-15 - Israel Disobeys The Lord

10 After that whole generation had died, another generation grew up after them that was not acquainted with the LORD or with what he had done for Israel.

11 So the Israelis practiced what the LORD considered to be evil by worshiping Canaanite deities. 12 They abandoned the LORD God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods from among the gods of the nations who surrounded them. They bowed down in worship of them, and by doing so angered the LORD. 13 As a result, they abandoned the LORD by serving both Baal and Ashtaroth.

14 So in his burning anger against Israel, the LORD gave them into the domination of marauders who plundered them. The enemies who surrounded the Israelis controlled them, and they were no longer able to withstand their adversaries. 15 Wherever they went, the LORD worked against them to bring misfortune, just as the LORD had warned, and just as the LORD had promised them. As a result, they suffered greatly.
