10 Then the Israelites cried(A) out to the Lord, “We have sinned(B) against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”(C)

11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(D) the Amorites,(E) the Ammonites,(F) the Philistines,(G) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(H) and the Maonites[a](I) oppressed you(J) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(K) me and served other gods,(L) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save(M) you when you are in trouble!(N)

15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(O) but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord.(P) And he could bear Israel’s misery(Q) no longer.(R)

10 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.

11 And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.

13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

15 And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.

16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

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.
