Judges 10:14

14 Go ahead! Cry out for help to the gods you've chosen - let them get you out of the mess you're in!"

Judges 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:14

Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen
For they were their choice, and not what they were obliged to serve through persecution, and by compulsion of others, and whom they needed not, having the Lord Jehovah to be their God; and they are bid not seriously, but in an ironical or sarcastic way, to call upon them for help in this their time of distress, in whose power it was not to relieve them:

let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation;
if they can, whom you have served in your prosperity.

Judges 10:14 In-Context

12 - even Amalek and Midian! - oppressed you and you cried out to me for help, I saved you from them.

13 And now you've gone off and betrayed me, worshiping other gods. I'm not saving you anymore.

14 Go ahead! Cry out for help to the gods you've chosen - let them get you out of the mess you're in!"

15 The People of Israel said to God: "We've sinned. Do to us whatever you think best, but please, get us out of this!"

16 Then they cleaned house of the foreign gods and worshiped only God. And God took Israel's troubles to heart.
