11. So Adonai said to Bnei-Yisrael, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the children of Ammon, the Philistines,
12. the Zidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites who oppressed you? When you cried out to Me, I delivered you from their hand.
13. Yet you have forsaken Me and worshipped other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more.
14. Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress.”
15. Then Bnei-Yisrael said to Adonai, “We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to You, but please, deliver us this day.”
16. Then they removed the foreign gods from among them, and worshipped Adonai. So His soul could not bear the misery of Israel.
