7. And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who saw all the great work Yahweh had done for Israel.
8. And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Yahweh, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.
9. They buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnah-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.
10. Moreover, that entire generation was gathered to their ancestors, and another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or the work he had done for Israel.
11. The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they served the Baals.
12. They abandoned Yahweh the God of their ancestors, who brought them out from the land of Egypt. They followed other gods from the gods of the people who were around them; and they bowed down to them, and they provoked the anger of Yahweh.
13. They abandoned Yahweh, and they served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14. So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of plunderers; and they plundered them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies from all sides. They were unable to withstand their enemies any longer.
15. Whenever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them to harm them, just as Yahweh warned, and just as Yahweh had sworn to them. And they were very distressed.
