Judges 10:15

Listen to Judges 10:15
15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.

Judges 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:15

And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, we have sinned,
&c.] By serving other gods particularly; and they seemed to have a true sense of their sin, and their confessions of it to be ingenuous, by what follows:

do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee;
inflict what punishment he would upon them, as famine or pestilence, they could not but own it would be just and righteous, and what their sins deserved:

deliver us only, we pray thee, this day;
out of the hands of men; they chose rather to fall into the hands of God; and however he thought fit to deal with them, they entreated that this once he would save them out of the hands of their enemies.
