Jueces 2:21 In-Context

19 Pero acontecía que al morir el juez, ellos volvían atrás y se corrompían aún más que sus padres, siguiendo a otros dioses, sirviéndoles e inclinándose ante ellos; no dejaban sus costumbres ni su camino obstinado.
20 Y se encendió la ira del SEÑOR contra Israel, y dijo: Por cuanto esta nación ha quebrantado el pacto que ordené a sus padres, y no ha escuchado mi voz,
21 tampoco yo volveré a expulsar de delante de ellos a ninguna de las naciones que Josué dejó cuando murió,
22 para probar por medio de ellas a Israel, a ver si guardan o no el camino del SEÑOR, y andan en él como lo hicieron sus padres.
23 Así pues, el SEÑOR permitió que aquellas naciones se quedaran allí, sin expulsarlas enseguida, y no las entregó en manos de Josué.
