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 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods: therefore I will save you no more.
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.
15 The children of Israel said to Yahweh, We have sinned: do you to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, we pray you, this day.
16 They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
