I brought you out of Egypt
to this Promised Land.
I will never break by covenant to you.
You were told not to make covenants with the people of the land.
You are supposed to break down the altars to idols.
Why have you disobeyed me?
"Now therefore
I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns
in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you."
(Judges 2:3)
God is
never wrong!
"They
forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of
Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them.
They provoked the Lord to anger because they forsook him and served
Baal and the Ashtoreths."
(Judges 2:12,13)
The
reason the people turned away from God?
"After that
whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew
up, who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel."
(Judges 2:10)
