SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:10
¶ Y los hijos de Israel clamaron al SEÑOR, diciendo: Nosotros hemos pecado contra ti; porque hemos dejado a nuestro Dios, y servido a los baales.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord , etc.] In this their distress, seeing nothing but ruin and destruction before their eyes, their land being invaded by such powerful enemies in different quarters; this opened their eyes to a sense of their sins, the cause of it, and brought them to a confession of them: saying, we have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim ; had been guilty not only of sins of omission, neglecting the pure of God, but also of sins of commission, even gross idolatry, in serving Baalim, and other gods, before mentioned.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-18 - God is able to multiply men's punishments according to the numbers of their sins and idols. But there is hope when sinners cry to the Lor for help, and lament their ungodliness as well as their more ope transgressions. It is necessary, in true repentance, that there be full conviction that those things cannot help us which we have set in competition with God. They acknowledged what they deserved, yet praye to God not to deal with them according to their deserts. We must submi to God's justice, with a hope in his mercy. True repentance is not onl for sin, but from sin. As the disobedience and misery of a child are grief to a tender father, so the provocations of God's people are grief to him. From him mercy never can be sought in vain. Let then the trembling sinner, and the almost despairing backslider, cease from debating about God's secret purposes, or from expecting to find hop from former experiences. Let them cast themselves on the mercy of God our Saviour, humble themselves under his hand, seek deliverance from the powers of darkness, separate themselves from sin, and from occasions of it, use the means of grace diligently, and wait the Lord' time, and so they shall certainly rejoice in his mercy __________________________________________________________________
