Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never * break My covenant with you,

All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.

and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed * other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the LORD to anger.

The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do as their fathers.

When the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered 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 oppressed and afflicted them.

But it came about when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following * other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their stubborn ways.

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because * this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice,
