Judges 2:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² But in return, you must not make an agreement with the people who live in this land. You must destroy their altars.’ But you did not obey me. How could you do this? ³ Now I will tell you this: ‘I will not force out the people in this land. They will become your enemies. Their gods will become a trap for you.’”

⁴ After the angel gave Israel this message from the Lord, they cried loudly.
