2.12 to 2.22

καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν τὸν ἐξαγαγόντα αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων ἀπὸ τῶν θεῶν τῶν λαῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς καὶ παρώργισαν τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῇ Βααλ καὶ ταῖς Ἀστάρταις. καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ προνομευόντων, καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν κυκλόθεν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἀντιστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν. ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπόρνευον, καὶ χεὶρ κυρίου ἦν αὐτοῖς εἰς κακά, καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος καὶ καθὼς ὤμοσεν κύριος, καὶ ἐξέθλιψεν αὐτοὺς σφόδρα. καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτοῖς κύριος κριτὰς καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν προνομευόντων αὐτούς. καί γε τῶν κριτῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπήκουσαν, ὅτι ἐξεπόρνευσαν ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς καὶ παρώργισαν τὸν κύριον· καὶ ἐξέκλιναν ταχὺ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ, ἧς ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν τοῦ εἰσακούειν ἐντολὰς κυρίου, οὐκ ἐποίησαν οὕτως. καὶ ὅτι ἤγειρεν αὐτοῖς κύριος κριτάς, καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ κριτοῦ, ὅτι παρεκλήθη κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ στεναγμοῦ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν πολιορκούντων αὐτοὺς καὶ κακούντων αὐτούς. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀπέθνῃσκεν ὁ κριτής, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν καὶ πάλιν διέφθειραν ὑπὲρ τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς καὶ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς· οὐκ ἀπέρριψαν τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς σκληρᾶς. καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνθ’ ὧν ὅσα ἐγκατέλιπαν τὸ ἔθνος τοῦτο τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ ἐξᾶραι ἄνδρα ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν κατέλιπεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἀφῆκεν, τοῦ πειράσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν Ισραηλ εἰ φυλάσσονται τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου πορεύεσθαι ἐν αὐτῇ, ὃν τρόπον ἐφυλάξαντο οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, ἢ οὔ.
