18 And when the Lorde raysed them vp iudges, he was with the iudge, and deliuered them out of the handes of their enemies all the dayes of the iudge: ( for the Lord had compassion ouer their sorowinges, whiche they had by the reason of them that oppressed them & vexed them:) 19 Yet for all that, assoone as the iudge was dead, they returned, and dyd worse then their fathers, in folowing straunge goddes, to serue them & worship them: and ceassed not from their owne inuentions, nor from their malitious way. 20 And the wrath of the Lorde was moued against Israel, and he sayde: Because this people hath trasgressed myne appoyntment whiche I commaunded their fathers, and haue not hearkened vnto my voyce: 21 I will hencefoorth not cast out before them one man of the nations whiche Iosuah left when he dyed: 22 That through them I may proue Israel, whether they wil kepe the way of the Lorde, and walke therin as their fathers dyd, or not. 23 And so the Lorde left those nations, and droue them not out immediatly, neither deliuered them into the hande of Iosuah.
