Juízes 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.

Juízes 10:15 In-Context

13 Mas vocês me abandonaram e prestaram culto a outros deuses. Por isso não os livrarei mais.

14 Clamem aos deuses que vocês escolheram. Que eles os livrem na hora do aperto!”

15 Os israelitas, porém, disseram ao SENHOR: “Nós pecamos. Faze conosco o que achares melhor, mas te rogamos, livra-nos agora”.

16 Então eles se desfizeram dos deuses estrangeiros que havia no meio deles e prestaram culto ao SENHOR. E ele não pôde mais suportar o sofrimento de Israel.

17 Quando os amonitas foram convocados e acamparam em Gileade, os israelitas reuniram-se e acamparam em Mispá.
