Judges 10:10-16

New Century Version

¹⁰ So the Israelites cried out to the Lord, “We have sinned against you. We left our God and worshiped the Baal idols.”

¹¹ The Lord answered the Israelites, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, ¹² Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and I saved you. ¹³ But now you have left me again and have worshiped other gods. So I refuse to save you again. ¹⁴ You have chosen those gods. So go call to them for help. Let them save you when you are in trouble.”

¹⁵ But the people of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do to us whatever you want, but please save us today!” ¹⁶ Then the Israelites threw away the foreign gods among them, and they worshiped the Lord again. So he felt sorry for them when he saw their suffering.
