Bible verse
In this way I will test whether Israel will keep the way of the LORD by walking in it as their fathers did.”
Judges 2:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Judges 2.
18 Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for the Israelites, He was with that judge and saved them from the hands of their enemies while the judge was still alive; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning under those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
19 But when the judge died, the Israelites became even more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods to serve them and bow down to them. They would not give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
20 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, “Because this nation has transgressed the covenant I laid down for their fathers and has not heeded My voice,
21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
22 In this way I will test whether Israel will keep the way of the LORD by walking in it as their fathers did.”
23 That is why the LORD had left those nations in place and had not driven them out immediately by delivering them into the hand of Joshua.
