Judges 2:20

¹⁸And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.

¹⁹And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted themselves worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them and to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.

— Judges 2:20 —

²¹therefore I will not anymore cast out a man of the nations from before their face, which Joshua the son of Nun left in the land. And the Lord left them,

²²to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
