Judges 2:1-10

English Standard Version (Chapter 2)

Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done?

Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim:

He said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers

You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars

But you have not obeyed my voice.

What is this you have done

So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” As soon as the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept. And they called the name of that place Bochim. And they sacrificed there to the LORD.

So now I say:

I will not drive them out before you

They shall become thorns in your sides

(They shall be a snare, trap, adversary, oppressors to afflict you)

Their gods shall be a snare to you

As soon as the angel of the LORD spoke these words

All the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept

And they called the name of that place Bochim

And they sacrificed there to the LORD.
