¹⁰ Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

¹⁰ Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals.

¹³ And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.

¹⁵ And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.

¹⁶ So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.

⁹ And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

⁷ And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

¹⁴ For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

¹⁵ And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

⁷⁴ That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

⁷⁵ In righteousness and holy living before him all our days.

²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.

¹⁶ Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.

⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

³⁴ When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

³⁵ In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

² And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.

⁷ And when the cry of the children of Israel, because of Midian, came before the Lord,

³ Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.
