And Israel was brought very low because of Midian. And the people of Israel (A)cried out for help to the Lord.

When the people of Israel cried out to the Lord on account of the Midianites, the Lord sent a prophet to the people of Israel. And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (B)I led you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of slavery. And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all who oppressed you, and (C)drove them out before you and gave you their land. 10 And I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; (D)you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell.’ But you have not obeyed my voice.”

Then the Lord said, (A)“I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their (B)taskmasters.

(A)The snares of death encompassed me;
    the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
    I suffered distress and anguish.
Then (B)I called on the name of the Lord:
    “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

(C)Gracious is the Lord, and (D)righteous;
    our God is (E)merciful.
The Lord preserves (F)the simple;
    when (G)I was brought low, he saved me.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and (A)his prayer to his God, and the words of (B)the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the (C)Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19 And his prayer, and how (D)God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites (E)on which he built high places and set up the (F)Asherim and the images, before (G)he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.[a]

10 And the people of Israel (A)cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have sinned against you, because (B)we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals.” 11 And the Lord said to the people of Israel, “Did I not save you (C)from the Egyptians and (D)from the Amorites, (E)from the Ammonites and (F)from the Philistines? 12 The Sidonians also, and (G)the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to me, and I (H)saved you out of their hand. 13 Yet you have (I)forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more. 14 Go and cry out (J)to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.” 15 And the people of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to you. Only please deliver us this day.” 16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord, and (K)he became impatient over the misery of Israel.

17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead. And the people of Israel came together, and they encamped at (L)Mizpah. 18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said one to another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? (M)He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

18 I have heard (A)Ephraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
    like an untrained calf;
(B)bring me back that I may be restored,
    for you are the Lord my God.
19 For after (C)I had turned away, I relented,
    and after I was instructed, (D)I struck my thigh;
(E)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 (F)Is Ephraim my dear son?
    (G)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
    I do remember him still.
(H)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
    I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
