Judges 2:9-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. His people buried his body on his own property at Timnath Heres. It's north of Mount Gaash in the hill country of Ephraim.

10. All of the people of Joshua's time joined the members of their families who had already died. Then those who were born after them grew up. They didn't know the Lord. They didn't know what he had done for Israel.

11. The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They served the gods that were named after Baal.

12. They deserted the Lord, the God of their people. He had brought them out of Egypt. But now the people of Israel followed other gods and worshiped them. They served the gods of the nations that were around them. They made the Lord angry
