Judges 2:20-23

NSB(i) 20 The anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel. He said: »Because this people have transgressed my covenant, which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice; 21 »I will not drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died. 22 »That through them I may test Israel, to see whether they will keep the way of Jehovah and walk in it as their fathers did.« 23 Therefore Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out. He did not deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
