Judges 2:17 in Context — Judges 2
15 Partout où ils allaient, la main de l’Éternel était contre eux pour leur faire du mal, comme l’Éternel l’avait dit, comme l’Éternel le leur avait juré. Ils furent ainsi dans une grande détresse.
16 L’Éternel suscita des juges, afin qu’ils les délivrassent de la main de ceux qui les pillaient.
17 Mais ils n’écoutèrent pas même leurs juges, car ils se prostituèrent à d’autres dieux, se prosternèrent devant eux. Ils se détournèrent promptement de la voie qu’avaient suivie leurs pères, et ils n’obéirent point comme eux aux commandements de l’Éternel.
18 Lorsque l’Éternel leur suscitait des juges, l’Éternel était avec le juge, et il les délivrait de la main de leurs ennemis pendant toute la vie du juge; car l’Éternel avait pitié de leurs gémissements contre ceux qui les opprimaient et les tourmentaient.
19 Mais, à la mort du juge, ils se corrompaient de nouveau plus que leurs pères, en allant après d’autres dieux pour les servir et se prosterner devant eux, et ils persévéraient dans la même conduite et le même endurcissement.
