~ The Angel of the Lord at Bokim ~

The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim
and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt
and led you into the land
that I swore to give to your forefathers.
I said, 'I will never break My covenant with you,
and you shall not make a covenant
with the people of this land,
but you shall break down their altars.'
Yet you have disobeyed Me.
Why have you done this?
Now 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."

(Judges 2:1-3)
