3So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you.|
3So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you.|
1 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 which I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you,
2 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not obeyed my command. What is this you have done?
3 So now I say, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall become adversaries to you, and their gods shall be a snare to you.|
4 When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
2:3Now 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."
2:3Wherefore 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.
2:3Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
2:3Wherefore 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.
2:3Wherefore 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.
2:3Wherefore 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.
2:3Therefore 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.|
2:3And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
2:3Why 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.
