10 The Israelites cried out for help to the LORD: |We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.| 11 The LORD said to the Israelites, |Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, 12 the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian when they oppressed you? You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power. 13 But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again. 14 Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!| 15 But the Israelites said to the LORD, |We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today!| 16 They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the LORD. Finally the LORD grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.
