The people of Israel added to the evil they had done in the sight of Yahweh and worshiped the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh and no longer worshiped him.

Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,

Yet you abandoned me again and worshiped other gods. Therefore, I will not keep adding to the times I deliver you.

Go and call out to the gods that you have worshiped. Let them rescue you when you have trouble.”
