After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the LORD or remember the mighty things He had done for Israel.
The Israelites did evil in the LORD's sight. They abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors. They went after other gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them.
This made the LORD burn with anger against Israel, so He handed them over to their enemies all around, and they were no longer able to resist them. Every time Israel went out to battle, the LORD fought against them, causing them to be defeated, just as He had warned. And the people were in great distress.
Then the LORD raised up judges to rescue the Israelites from their attackers. Yet Israel did not listen to the judges but prostituted themselves by worshiping other gods.
How quickly they turned away from the path of their ancestors, who had walked in obedience to the LORD's commands. Judges 2:10-17 NLT
Jesus (Yashua) says, "I have this complaint against you. You don't love Me or each other as you did at first!" Revelation 2:4 NLT Return to me.
These things happened to the Israelites as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. 1 Corinthians 10:11 NLT
