Jueces 2:21 In-Context

19 Pero al morir el juez, la gente no solo volvía a sus prácticas corruptas, sino que se comportaba peor que sus antepasados. Seguía a otros dioses: los servía y les rendía culto. Además se negaba a abandonar sus prácticas malvadas y sus tercos caminos.
20 Por eso el Señor
ardió de enojo contra Israel y dijo: «Ya que este pueblo ha violado mi pacto que hice con sus antepasados y no ha hecho caso a mis mandatos,
21 ya no expulsaré a las naciones que Josué dejó sin conquistar cuando murió.
22 Lo hice para poner a prueba a Israel: para ver si seguiría o no los caminos del Señor
, como lo hicieron sus antepasados».
23 Por esa razón el Señor
dejó esas naciones donde estaban. No las expulsó de inmediato, ni permitió que Josué las conquistara a todas.
