    The statement is true because in the Book of Judges, Israel went through a cycle where they would turn away from God (apostasy), which would result in them being oppressed by their enemies. Eventually, they would realize their mistake and repent, leading to God restoring them and delivering them from their oppressors. This cycle is seen repeatedly throughout the book, demonstrating the pattern of Israel's behavior and God's response to it.
