Judges 2:16-18
Read Judges 2 in full →Yahweh Raises Up Judges
16aThen Yahweh raised up judges 1who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them. 17Yet they did not listen to their judges either, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way ain which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of Yahweh; they did not do as their fathers. 18Now when Yahweh raised up judges for them, aYahweh was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for Yahweh was bmoved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and suppressed them.
