Shofetim 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.

Shofetim 10:14 In-Context

12 The Tzidonim also, and the Amalek, and the Maon, did oppress you; and ye cried out to Me, and I saved you out of their yad.

13 Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served elohim acherim; so I will not continue to save you.

14 Go and cry unto the elohim which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

15 And the Bnei Yisroel said unto Hashem, Chatanu (we have sinned); do Thou unto us whatsoever seemeth hatov unto Thee; only save us, now, this day.

16 And they put away the elohei hanekhar (strange, foreign g-ds) from among them, and served Hashem; and His nefesh was troubled with the amal Yisroel (misery of Yisroel).
