10 And they began to call to Jehovah for aid+ and say, ‘We have sinned,+ for we have left Jehovah that we might serve the Baʹals+ and the Ashʹto·reth+ images; and now deliver+ us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.’

21 And YOU must not turn aside to follow the unrealities+ that are of no benefit+ and that do not deliver, because they are unrealities.

13 on account of all the sins of Baʹa·sha and the sins of Eʹlah+ his son with which they sinned and with which they caused Israel to sin by offending Jehovah the God of Israel with their vain idols.*+

15 and saying: “Men, why are YOU doing these things? We also are humans+ having the same infirmities+ as YOU do, and are declaring the good news to YOU, for YOU to turn from these vain+ things to the living God,+ who made the heaven+ and the earth and the sea and all the things in them.
