Judges 2:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ The Israelites quit following the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtoreth. ¹⁴ The Lord was angry with the people of Israel, so he handed them over to robbers who took their possessions. He let their enemies who lived around them defeat them; they could not protect themselves. ¹⁵ When the Israelites went out to fight, they always lost, because the Lord was not with them. The Lord had sworn to them this would happen. So the Israelites suffered very much.
