14 Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen. Let them save you in the hour of your desperation.”[a]
15 The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us however you see fit, but please rescue us today.” 16 They removed their foreign gods from their midst, and they served the Lord. Finally, he could no longer bear Israel’s misery.[b]
