TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

God’s Grief over Apostasy

The God of the universe is grieved by his people’s misery (10:16; Hos 11:8-9). Even when repeatedly spurned, God’s love is more powerful than his wrath, and his compassion exceeds his indignation. That does not mean that his love negates his justice, however, and people will ultimately be judged in the end for their choices and actions (see 2Tim 4:1; Rev 20:11-15).

The entire era of the judges shows what happens in God’s heart when his people repeatedly spurn him. There comes a point, as in the time of Noah (Gen 6:5-7), when God’s patience runs out. For the Israelites who inhabited the land of the judges, that time had come. At one point, after the Israelites had turned to worship other gods and God had allowed them to be oppressed by their enemies, God responded to their plea for help by saying, “Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen! Let them rescue you” (Judg 10:14). Yet, even then, when Israel repeated its plea for mercy, rid themselves of their idols, and submitted to the Lord’s justice (10:10, 15-16), he provided help.

God longs for people to turn to him in repentance, not wanting anyone to be destroyed (2 Pet 3:9). And in his justice, he “makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus” (Rom 3:26). He has taken upon himself the grievous weight of our sin (see Isa 53:3-12; 2 Cor 5:19-21) and given us the opportunity to receive his grace.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

לְכ֗וּ וְ⁠זַֽעֲקוּ֙ אֶל־הָ֣⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּחַרְתֶּ֖ם בָּ֑⁠ם הֵ֛מָּה יוֹשִׁ֥יעוּ לָ⁠כֶ֖ם בְּ⁠עֵ֥ת צָרַתְ⁠כֶֽם

go and,cry_out to/towards the=ʼElohīm which/who chosen in/on/at/with,them they(emph) deliver to/for=you_all in/on/at/with,time distress,your_all's

Yahweh does not really want the Israelites to cry out to other gods for help. He means to communicate emphatically the opposite of the literal meaning of his words. Alternate translation: “Since you have chosen other gods, you have no right to cry out to me to save you in your time of distress!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּחַרְתֶּ֖ם בָּ֑⁠ם

which/who chosen in/on/at/with,them

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “that you have chosen”
