Judges 10:10-16 The children of Israel cried out to Jehovah: »We sinned against you. We left our God and served the Baals.«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ The children of Israel cried out to Jehovah: »We sinned against you. We left our God and served the Baals.« ¹¹ Jehovah answered: »Did I free you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines? ¹² »Did I save you from the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites? They oppressed you and you cried out to me. ¹³ »You still left me and worshiped other gods. I am not going to rescue you again. ¹⁴ »Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen! Let them save you in your time of trouble.« ¹⁵ But the people of Israel said to Jehovah: »We have sinned. Do to us what seems best to you, only please, save us today!« ¹⁶ So they removed the foreign gods and worshiped Jehovah. He could bear the distress of Israel no longer.
