Judges 10:14

14 You have chosen those gods. So go call to them for help. Let them save you when you are in trouble."

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 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and I saved you.

13 But now you have left me again and have worshiped other gods. So I refuse to save you again.

14 You have chosen those gods. So go call to them for help. Let them save you when you are in trouble."

15 But the people of Israel said to the Lord, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever you want, but please save us today!"

16 Then the Israelites threw away the foreign gods among them, and they worshiped the Lord again. So he felt sorry for them when he saw their suffering.
