Judges 2:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² as long as ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; to the contrary, ye shall throw down their altars, but ye have not heard my voice; why have ye done this?

³ Therefore, I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

⁴ And when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
