10 Then the (A)sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.” 11 And the Lord 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 And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites (E)oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I saved you from their hands. 13 Yet (F)you abandoned Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer save you. 14 (G)Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.” 15 Then the sons of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned, (H)do to us whatever [a]seems good to You; only please save us this day.” 16 (I)So they removed the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and [b](J)He could no longer endure the misery of Israel.
