Judges 2:20 in Context — Judges 2

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.

20 Alors la colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma contre Israël, et il dit: Puisque cette nation a transgressé mon alliance que j’avais prescrite à ses pères, et puisqu’ils n’ont point obéi à ma voix,

21 je ne chasserai plus devant eux aucune des nations que Josué laissa quand il mourut.

22 C’est ainsi que je mettrai par elles Israël à l’épreuve, pour savoir s’ils prendront garde ou non de suivre la voie de l’Éternel, comme leurs pères y ont pris garde.
