18 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges, and Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them from the hand of their enemies all of the days of the judge: for Jehovah will grieve from their groaning from the face of those pressing them and thrusting them. 19 And it was in the dying of the judge, they will turn back and be corrupted above their fathers to go after other gods to serve them and to worship to them: they let nothing fall from their deeds and from their hard way. 20 And the wrath of Jehovah will kindle against Israel; and he will say, Because that this nation passed by my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and heard not to my voice, 21 I also will not add to drive out a man from their face from the nations which Joshua left, and he died, 22 So as to try Israel by them, whether they are watching the way of Jehovah to go in them, as their fathers watched, or not. 23 And Jehovah will leave these nations, not to drive them out quickly, and he gave them not into the hand of Joshua.
