10 (A)And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have (B)sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!”

11 So the Lord said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you (C)from the Egyptians and (D)from the Amorites and (E)from the people of Ammon and (F)from the Philistines? 12 Also (G)the Sidonians (H)and Amalekites and [a]Maonites (I)oppressed you; and you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand. 13 (J)Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 “Go and (K)cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”

15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned! (L)Do to us whatever seems best to You; only deliver us this day, we pray.” 16 (M)So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And (N)His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.

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.
