20 The LORD became angry with Israel. He said, |Because the people of this nation have rejected the promise I gave their ancestors and have not obeyed me, 21 I will no longer force out the nations Joshua left behind when he died. 22 I will test the people of Israel with these nations to see whether or not they will carefully follow the LORD's ways as their ancestors did.| 23 So the LORD let these nations stay. He had not handed them over to Joshua or forced them out quickly. Judges 2:20-23, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
