Judges 10:11-16

11The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, 12the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites Hebrew; some Septuagint manuscripts Midianites oppressed you and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!” 15But the Israelites said to the LORD, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.”

16Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD . And he could bear Israel’s misery no longer.
