Judges 10:14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. Travellers tell us that they who are at the top of the Alps can see great showers of rain fall under them, but not a drop of it falls on them. They who have God for their portion are in a high tower, and thereby safe from all troubles and showers. A drift rain of evil will beat in at the creature's windows, be they never so well pointed: all the garments this world can make up cannot keep them that travel in such weather from being wet to the skin. No creature is able to bear the weight of its fellow-creature, but as reeds break under, and as thorns run into the sides that lean on them. The bow drawn beyond its compass breaks in sunder, and the string wound above its strength snaps in pieces. Such are outward helps to all that trust to them in hardships. (G. Swinnock.) Parallel Verses KJV: Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.WEB: Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen.
