Judges 10:14

14 Cry out for help 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 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to me for help. Didn't I rescue you from them?

13 But you still abandoned me and served other gods. That's why I won't rescue you again.

14 Cry out for help to the gods you chose. Let them rescue you when you're in trouble."

15 The people of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever you think is right. But please rescue us today!"

16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods they had and served the LORD. So the LORD could not bear to have Israel suffer any longer.
