Judges 10:13

Verse 13

13. I will deliver you no more But it appears in the following history that he did deliver them, even again and again. Was God therefore false to his word? By no means. This, like all other similar declarations of Jehovah, is to be regarded as conditional. “This he tells them,” says Henry, “not only as what he might do, but as what he would do, if they rested in a mere confession of what they had done amiss, and did not put away their idols and amend for the future.” So it is always with the divine threatenings or promises. Both “the goodness and severity of God” are conditioned on the responsible actions of man. Note, Romans 11:22.
