Judges 10:13

13 But you still abandoned me and served other gods. That's why I won't rescue you again.

Judges 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:13

Ye have forsaken me, and served other gods
Since they had been so remarkably saved, time after time, and delivered from so many powerful enemies, which was dreadful ingratitude:

wherefore I will deliver you no more;
which is not to be understood absolutely, since after this he did deliver them, but conditionally, unless they repented of their idolatries, and forsook them. This is said to bring them to a sense of their sin and danger.

Judges 10:13 In-Context

11 The LORD said to the people of Israel, "When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to me for help. Didn't I rescue you from them?
13 But you still abandoned me and served other gods. That's why I won't rescue you again.
14 Cry out for help to the gods you chose. Let them rescue you when you're in trouble."
15 The people of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever you think is right. But please rescue us today!"
