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 that 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 voice.
What is this you have done?
3 So now I say,
I will not drive them out before you,
but they shall become thorns in your sides,
and their gods shall be a snare to you.”
