Judges 10:13
11 The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,
12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?
But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
15 “We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
