*
And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Ba '
als ;
*
and they forsook the LORD ,
the God of their fathers ,
who had brought them out of the land of Egypt ;
they went after other gods ,
from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them ,
and bowed down to them ;
and they provoked the LORD to anger .
*
They forsook the LORD ,
and served the Ba '
als and the Ash '
taroth .
*
So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel ,
and he gave them over to plunderers ,
who plundered them ;
and he sold them into the power of their enemies round about ,
so that they could no longer withstand their enemies .
*
Whenever they marched out ,
the hand of the LORD was against them for evil ,
as the LORD had warned ,
and as the LORD had sworn to them ;
and they were in sore straits .
*
Then the LORD raised up judges ,
who saved them out of the power of those who plundered them .
*
And yet they did not listen to their judges ;
for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down to them ;
they soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked ,
who had obeyed the commandments of the LORD ,
and they did not do so .
