Judges 2:14-18

MLV(i) 14 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them. And he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken and as Jehovah had sworn to them. And they were exceedingly distressed.
16 And Jehovah raised up judges who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them. 17 And yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the prostitute after other gods and bowed themselves to them. They turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah. They did not do so.
18 And when Jehovah raised up judges for them, then Jehovah was with the judge and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For Jehovah regretted because of their groaning because of those who oppressed them and distressed them.
