Judges 2:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 (A)Then the Lord raised up judges [a]who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they [b]committed infidelity with other gods and bowed down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way (B)in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the Lord; they did not do the same as their fathers. 18 And when the Lord raised up judges for them, (C)the Lord was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was (D)moved to pity by their groaning because of those who tormented and oppressed them.

Judges 2:16-18
New International Version
16 Then the Lord raised up judges,[a](A) who saved(B) them out of the hands of these raiders. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(C) themselves to other gods(D) and worshiped them.(E) They quickly turned(F) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(G) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(H) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(I) because of their groaning(J) under those who oppressed and afflicted(K) them.
