The Book of Judges is a story of a cycle of idolatry, defeat, crying out to God and deliverance. It catalogs some of the worst sins that men committed - fratricide (Judges 9:5), gang rape (Judges 19:25), civil war (Judges 20:1-48) and human sacrifice (Judges 11:39). The key verse of the book in in its last verse:
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25 KJV)
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32 KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 KJV)
And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:3 ESV)
Know the Truth, and you will know God, have freedom and eternal life.
If you just have freedom without truth, then your life will be more and more miserable.
