Judges 2:12-14
2:12 They abandoned the
Lord God of their ancestors
who brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods – the gods of the nations who lived around them. They worshiped
them and made the
Lord angry.
2:13 They abandoned the
Lord and worshiped Baal and the Ashtars.
2:14 The Lord was furious with Israel and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. He turned them over to their enemies who lived around them. They could not withstand their enemies’ attacks.
