13 "But you have deserted me. You have served other gods. So I will not save you anymore.

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 replied, "The Egyptians and Amorites beat you down. So did the Ammonites and Philistines.

12 And so did the Amalekites and the people of Sidon and Maon. Each time you cried out to me for help. And I saved you from their power.

13 "But you have deserted me. You have served other gods. So I will not save you anymore.

14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you get into trouble!"

15 But the people of Israel replied to the Lord. They said, "We have sinned. Do to us what you think is best. But please save us now."
