Judges 10:10-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 so they cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have sinned against You.(A) We have abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”
11 The Lord said to the Israelites, “When the Egyptians,(B) Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, 12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites[a](C) oppressed you, and you cried out to Me, did I not deliver you from their power? 13 But you have abandoned Me and worshiped other gods. Therefore, I will not deliver you again. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen.(D) Let them deliver you in the time of your oppression.”
15 But the Israelites said, “We have sinned. Deal with us as You see fit;[b] only deliver us(E) today!” 16 So they got rid of the foreign gods(F) among them and worshiped the Lord,(G) and He became weary(H) of Israel’s misery.

Common English Bible
10 Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, “We’ve sinned against you, for we went away from our God and served the Baals.”
11 The Lord replied to the Israelites, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, 12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to me, didn’t I rescue you from their power? 13 But you have gone away from me and served other gods, so I won’t rescue you anymore! 14 Go cry out to the gods you’ve chosen. Let them rescue you in the time of your distress.”
15 The Israelites responded to the Lord, “We’ve sinned. Do to us whatever you see as right, but please save us this time.” 16 They put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And the Lord could no longer stand to see Israel suffer.
