The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD, and didn’t serve him.

The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 et tamen reliquistis me et coluistis deos alienos idcirco non addam ut ultra vos liberem

14 ite et invocate deos quos elegistis ipsi vos liberent in tempore angustiae
