Israel Cries Out to Yahweh

10 And the (A)sons of Israel cried out to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and served the Baals.” 11 Then Yahweh said to the sons of Israel, “Did I not save you (B)from the Egyptians, (C)the Amorites, (D)the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines? 12 Also the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites (E)oppressed you.
