Judges 2.21-23

19. But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way. 20. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

21. I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died; 22. that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23. So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. (Judges 2:19-23, ASV)

19. But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways. 20. Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,

21. I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them; 22. that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep the Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.” 23. So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand. (Judges 2:19-23, WEB)

19. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. ^{corrupted: or, were corrupt ceased: Heb. let nothing fall of their} 20. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

21. I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 22. That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 23. Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. ^{left: or, suffered} (Judges 2:19-23, KJV)

19. And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge, they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way. 20. And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, 'Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice

21. I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth, 22. in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.' 23. And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua. (Judges 2:19-23, YLT)
