Judges 2:10

Jdg 2:10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

Ver. 10. And there arose another generation. ] Things grow worse for most part, every age than other: -

“ Aeras parentum peior avis tulit

Nos nequiores, mox datura

Progeniem vitiosiorem. ” - Hor. a

Which knew not the Lord, ] i.e., Knew him not effectually and

experimentally. As our Saviour knew no sin - that is, he did none; so

men know not the Lord to any purpose, that obey him not; Eli’s sons,

for instance.
