Judges 2:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² ‘You, also, shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My Voice. Why have you done this?

³ “Therefore, I also said, ‘I will not cast them out before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides. And their gods shall be your destruction.’”

⁴ And when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
