« Judges 1 | Judges 2 | Judges 3 »

20 So the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and He said, “Because this nation has trespassed against My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice, 21 I also will no longer dispossess before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died, 22 in order to test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of Yahweh to walk in it as their fathers did, or not.” 23 So Yahweh allowed those nations to rest, not dispossessing them quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
