Judges 10:14

14 Go and cry to the gods you chose; let them rescue you when you're 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 Likewise, when the people of Tzidon, 'Amalek and Ma'on oppressed you, you cried out to me; and I rescued you from their power.
13 Yet you abandoned me and served other gods; therefore I will not rescue you any more.
14 Go and cry to the gods you chose; let them rescue you when you're in trouble!"
15 The people of Isra'el said to ADONAI, "We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way seems good to you, but save us today, please!"
16 They got rid of their foreign gods and served ADONAI, and he became troubled by Isra'el's misery.
