12. Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hands.
13. Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer deliver you.
14. Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress."
15. The sons of Israel said to the Lord, "We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please deliver us this day."
16. So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.
