Judges 10:10-16

International Standard Version

¹⁰ Then the Israelis cried out to the Lord and told him,^[a] “We have sinned against you because we have abandoned our God to serve the Baals.”

¹¹ The Lord replied to the Israelis, “Aren’t you away from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines? ¹² And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites harassed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from under their domination. ¹³ But you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer be delivering you. ¹⁴ Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen for yourselves. Let them deliver you in your time of trouble.”

¹⁵ The Israelis replied to the Lord, “We have sinned, so do to us anything that’s right to do in your opinion, just please deliver us right now.” ¹⁶ When they put away their foreign gods and served the Lord, he brought Israel’s misery to an end.
