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 ye cried unto me, and I saved you out of their hand.

13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will save you no more.

14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.

15 And the children of Israel said unto Jehovah, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day.

16 And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
