The Bible states that Israel committed evil in the sight of the Lord by turning to idolatry, forsaking the true God.
In Judges 10:6, we see that the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, serving various idols from neighboring nations. This cycle of sin highlights the tendency of the human heart to stray toward idolatry, as seen throughout the Old Testament. Jeremiah 2:11 reflects on this, stating that God's people exchanged their glory for worthless idols, demonstrating a deep spiritual depravity where even after experiencing God's grace, they continually turned back to false gods. This serves as a reminder of the pervasive influence of sin and the necessity of worshipping the true and living God.
