1 The Messenger of the LORD went from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, |I brought you out of Egypt into the land that I swore to give to your ancestors. I said, 'I will never break my promise to you. 2 You must never make a treaty with the people who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you didn't obey me. What do you think you're doing? 3 So I have this to say, 'I will not force them out of your way. They will be like thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'| 4 While the Messenger of the LORD was saying this to all the people of Israel, they began to cry loudly.
