Though he sees them, he does not do such things: 15 He does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift his eyes to the idols of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife. 16 He does not oppress anyone, or require a pledge for a loan, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing. 17 He refrains from harming the poor, does not lend at interest or take a profit, and obeys my rules and walkthroughs my statutes.

Yet you have not obeyed me. What is this that you have done?' 3 So now I say, 'I will not drive them out before you. They will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.' 4 When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly. 5 So they named that place Bochim, and there they offered sacrifices to the LORD. 6 After Joshua sent the people away, the Israelites went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the elders who outlived him and had seen all the great works the LORD had done for Israel. 8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him within the boundary of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD or the works he had done for Israel. 11 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.
