14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!"
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
14 Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
14 Go ahead! Cry out for help to the gods you've chosen - let them get you out of the mess you're in!"
14 Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress."
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen! Let them rescue you in your hour of distress!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 10:14
Commentary on Judges 10:10-18
(Read Judges 10:10-18)
God is able to multiply men's punishments according to the numbers of their sins and idols. But there is hope when sinners cry to the Lord for help, and lament their ungodliness as well as their more open transgressions. It is necessary, in true repentance, that there be a full conviction that those things cannot help us which we have set in competition with God. They acknowledged what they deserved, yet prayed to God not to deal with them according to their deserts. We must submit to God's justice, with a hope in his mercy. True repentance is not only for sin, but from sin. As the disobedience and misery of a child are a grief to a tender father, so the provocations of God's people are a grief to him. From him mercy never can be sought in vain. Let then the trembling sinner, and the almost despairing backslider, cease from debating about God's secret purposes, or from expecting to find hope from former experiences. Let them cast themselves on the mercy of God our Saviour, humble themselves under his hand, seek deliverance from the powers of darkness, separate themselves from sin, and from occasions of it, use the means of grace diligently, and wait the Lord's time, and so they shall certainly rejoice in his mercy.
