Judges 2

1 An angel rebuketh the people at Bochim. 6 The wickedness of the new generation after Joshua. 14 God's anger and pity towards them. 20 The Canaanites are left to prove Israel.

 2:1 ¶ And an angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 came up 5927 z8799 from x4480 Gilgal 1537 to x413 Bochim, 1066 and said, 559 z8799 I made you to go up 5927 z8686 x853 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and have brought 935 z8686 you unto x413 the land 776 which x834 I swore 7650 z8738 unto your fathers; 1 and I said, 559 z8799 I will never 5769 x3808 break 6565 z8686 my covenant 1285 with x854 you.

 2:2 And ye x859 shall make 3772 z8799 no x3808 league 1285 with the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of this x2063 land; 776 ye shall throw down 5422 z8799 their altars: 4196 but ye have not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 my voice: 6963 why x4100 have ye done 6213 z8804 this? x2063

 2:3 Wherefore I also x1571 said, 559 z8804 I will not x3808 drive them out 1644 z8762 x853 from before 6440 x4480 you; but they shall be x1961 [as thorns] in your sides, 6654 and their gods 430 shall be x1961 a snare 4170 unto you.

 2:4 And it came to pass, x1961 when the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 z8763 x853 these x428 words 1697 unto x413 all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 that the people 5971 lifted up 5375 z8799 x853 their voice, 6963 and wept. 1058 z8799

 2:5 And they called 7121 z8799 the name 8034 of that x1931 place 4725 Bochim: 1066 and they sacrificed 2076 z8799 there x8033 unto the LORD. 3068

 2:6 ¶ And when Joshua 3091 had let x853 the people 5971 go, 7971 z8762 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went y3212 z8799 x1980 every man 376 unto his inheritance 5159 to possess 3423 z8800 x853 the land. 776

 2:7 And the people 5971 served 5647 z8799 x853 the LORD 3068 all x3605 the days 3117 of Joshua, 3091 and all x3605 the days 3117 of the elders 2205 that x834 outlived 748 3117 310 z8689 Joshua, 3091 who x834 had seen 7200 z8804 x853 all x3605 the great 1419 works 4639 of the LORD, 3068 that x834 he did 6213 z8804 for Israel. 3478

 2:8 And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun, 5126 the servant 5650 of the LORD, 3068 died, 4191 z8799 [being] a hundred 3967 and ten 6235 years 8141 old. 1121

 2:9 And they buried 6912 z8799 him in the border 1366 of his inheritance 5159 in Timnath-heres, 8556 in the mount 2022 of Ephraim, 669 on the north side 6828 x4480 of the hill 2022 Gaash. 1608

 2:10 And also x1571 all x3605 that x1931 generation 1755 were gathered 622 z8738 unto x413 their fathers: 1 and there arose 6965 z8799 another 312 generation 1755 after 310 them, which x834 knew 3045 z8804 not x3808 x853 the LORD, 3068 nor yet x1571 x853 the works 4639 which x834 he had done 6213 z8804 for Israel. 3478

 2:11 ¶ And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 z8799 x853 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and served 5647 z8799 x853 Baalim: 1168

 2:12 And they forsook 5800 z8799 x853 the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers, 1 which brought them out 3318 z8688 x853 of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 and followed 310 y3212 z8799 x1980 other 312 gods, 430 of the gods 430 x4480 of the people 5971 that x834 [were] round about 5439 them, and bowed y7812 z8691 themselves x7812 unto them, and provoked x3707 x853 the LORD 3068 to anger. 3707 z8686

 2:13 And they forsook 5800 z8799 x853 the LORD, 3068 and served 5647 z8799 Baal 1168 and Ashtaroth. 6252

 2:14 ¶ And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was hot 2734 z8799 against Israel, 3478 and he delivered 5414 z8799 them into the hands 3027 of spoilers 8154 z8802 that spoiled 8155 z8799 them, and he sold 4376 z8799 them into the hands 3027 of their enemies 341 z8802 round about, 5439 x4480 so that they could 3201 z8804 not x3808 any longer 5750 stand 5975 z8800 before 6440 their enemies. 341 z8802

 2:15 Whithersoever x3605 x834 they went out, 3318 z8804 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was x1961 against them for evil, 7451 as x834 the LORD 3068 had said, 1696 z8765 and as x834 the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 z8738 unto them: and they were greatly 3966 distressed. 3334 z8799

 2:16 ¶ Nevertheless the LORD 3068 raised up 6965 z8686 judges, 8199 z8802 which delivered 3467 z8686 them out of the hand 3027 x4480 of those that spoiled 8154 z8802 them.

 2:17 And yet x1571 they would not x3808 hearken 8085 z8804 unto x413 their judges, 8199 z8802 but x3588 they went a whoring 2181 z8804 after 310 other 312 gods, 430 and bowed y7812 z8691 themselves x7812 unto them: they turned 5493 z8804 quickly 4118 out of x4480 the way 1870 which x834 their fathers 1 walked x1980 in, y1980 z8804 obeying 8085 z8800 the commandments 4687 of the LORD; 3068 [but] they did 6213 z8804 not x3808 so. x3651

 2:18 And when x3588 the LORD 3068 raised y6965 z8689 them up x6965 judges, 8199 z8802 then the LORD 3068 was x1961 with x5973 the judge, 8199 z8802 and delivered 3467 z8689 them out of the hand 3027 x4480 of their enemies 341 z8802 all x3605 the days 3117 of the judge: 8199 z8802 for x3588 it repented 5162 z8735 the LORD 3068 because y6440 of their groanings 5009 x4480 by reason of them x4480 x6440 that oppressed 3905 z8801 them and vexed 1766 z8802 them.

 2:19 And it came to pass, x1961 when the judge 8199 z8802 was dead, y4194 x4191 [that] they returned, 7725 z8799 and corrupted 7843 z8689 [themselves] more than their fathers, 1 x4480 in following 310 y3212 z8800 x1980 other 312 gods 430 to serve 5647 z8800 them, and to bow down 7812 z8692 unto them; they ceased 5307 z8689 not x3808 from their own doings, 4611 x4480 nor from their stubborn y7186 way. 1870 x4480 x7186

 2:20 ¶ And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was hot 2734 z8799 against Israel; 3478 and he said, 559 z8799 Because x3282 that x834 this x2088 people 1471 hath transgressed 5674 z8804 x853 my covenant 1285 which x834 I commanded 6680 z8765 x853 their fathers, 1 and have not x3808 hearkened 8085 z8804 unto my voice; 6963

 2:21 I x589 also x1571 will not x3808 henceforth 3254 z8686 drive out 3423 z8687 any 376 from before 6440 x4480 them of x4480 the nations 1471 which x834 Joshua 3091 left 5800 z8804 when he died: 4191 z8799

 2:22 That x4616 through them I may prove 5254 z8763 x853 Israel, 3478 whether they x1992 will keep 8104 z8802 x853 the way 1870 of the LORD 3068 to walk y3212 z8800 x1980 therein, as x834 their fathers 1 did keep 8104 z8804 [it], or x518 not. x3808

 2:23 Therefore the LORD 3068 left y3240 z8686 x5117 x853 those x428 nations, 1471 without 1115 driving them out 3423 z8687 hastily; 4118 neither x3808 delivered 5414 z8804 he them into the hand 3027 of Joshua. 3091
