Judges

Judges 2:14–16

¹⁴Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of those who plundered them.^d He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist. ¹⁵Wherever Israel marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them to bring calamity, just as He had sworn to them. So they were greatly distressed.

¹⁶Then the LORD raised up judges,^e who saved them from the hands of those who plundered them.
