Judges 10:10-15
Contemporary English Version
Judges 10:10-15
Contemporary English Version
10 They begged the Lord for help and confessed, “We were unfaithful to you, our Lord. We stopped worshiping you and started worshiping idols of Baal.”
11-12 The Lord answered:
In the past when you came crying to me for help, I rescued you. At one time or another I've rescued you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites.[a] 13-14 But I'm not going to rescue you any more! You've left me and gone off to worship other gods. If you're in such big trouble, go and cry to them for help!
15 “We have been unfaithful to you,” the Israelites admitted. “If we must be punished, do it yourself, but please rescue us from the Ammonites.”

New International Version
10 Then the Israelites cried(A) out to the Lord, “We have sinned(B) against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”(C)
11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(D) the Amorites,(E) the Ammonites,(F) the Philistines,(G) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(H) and the Maonites[a](I) oppressed you(J) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(K) me and served other gods,(L) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save(M) you when you are in trouble!(N)”
15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(O) but please rescue us now.”
