11. And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,
12. The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
13. And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
14. Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.
15. And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
16. And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries.
17. And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together and camped in Maspha.
