So {the anger of Yahweh was kindled} against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of plunderers; and they plundered them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies from all sides. They were unable to withstand their enemies any longer.

Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer deliver you.

So they removed the foreign gods from their midst and served Yahweh; and {he could no longer bear} the misery of Israel.
