VOTD Ezekiel 16:59-63

Eze 16:59 “For thus says the Lord GOD: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant,
Eze 16:60 yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.
Eze 16:61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you.
Eze 16:62 I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD,
Eze 16:63 that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord GOD.”

VOTD Judges 2:20-23

Jdg 2:20 Then the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He said, “Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,
Jdg 2:21 I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,
Jdg 2:22 so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the LORD, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not.”
Jdg 2:23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
