Judges 2:16-18

Rotherham(i) 16 And, though Yahweh raised up judges,––who saved them out of the hand of them that plundered them, 17 yet, even unto their judges, did thy not hearken, for they went unchastely astray after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them,––they turned aside speedily out of the way wherein their fathers who hearkened unto the commandments of Yahweh, walked, they did not so. 18 And, when Yahweh raised them up judges, then was Yahweh with the judges, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies, all the days of the judge,––for Yahweh was grieved at their outcry, because of them who oppressed them, and ill–treated them.
