10 Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, “We have sinned against You, for we have abandoned our God and worshipped the Baals.”
11 The Lord said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites when they oppressed you? You cried out to Me, and I saved you from their hands.
13 Yet you have abandoned Me and worshipped other gods. Therefore I will not save you again.
14 Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of distress.”
15 Then the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good in Your sight. Please, just deliver us today.”
16 They removed the foreign gods from among them and worshipped the Lord, and He could no longer endure the suffering of Israel.
