¹⁰ Then the Israelites^[a] cried out to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you; we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.” ¹¹ And Yahweh said to the Israelites,^[b] “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians,^[c] the Amorites,^[d] from the Ammonites,^[e] and from the Philistines?^{[f] 12} And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites,^[g] and the Maonites^[h] oppressed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from their hand. ¹³ Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer deliver you. ¹⁴ Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your trouble.” ¹⁵ And the Israelites^[i] said to Yahweh, “We have sinned; do to us accordingly as you see fit;^[j] only please deliver us this day.” ¹⁶ So they removed the foreign gods from their midst and served Yahweh; and he could no longer bear^[k] the misery of Israel.
