NASB
""Therefore I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'""
— Judges 2:3, NASB
“Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.”
“Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. ”
“Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you."”
“At that time I also warned you,‘If you disobey, I will not drive out the Canaanites before you. They will ensnare you and their gods will lure you away.’””
“Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face; that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.”
“And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.”
“Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.”
Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you,
and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?
"Therefore I also said, 'I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'"
When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
So they named that place Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the LORD.
When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.
