15“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”
16So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.
Focused Passage
Judges 10:15-16
Apostasy, Confession, and the LORD's Grief Over Israel's Misery
