Judges 2:11-3:31 Chiastic Structure:
We Learn from the Narrative, that it goes well with us, and with our descendants, when we pay heed to the commandments of YHVH, to walk in His ways; and when we do not, it goes ill with us, and with our descendants. If we love our children, let us choose wisely!
