Judges 2:2-4

New Life Version

² Do not make any agreement with the people of this land. Tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed Me. What is this you have done? ³ So now I say, ‘I will not drive them away from you. They will be like thorns in your sides. Their gods will be a trap to you.’” ⁴ When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people cried in a loud voice.
