“And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.”
King James Version (KJV)
10:16 They put away - This was an evidence of the sincerity of their sorrow, that they did not only confess their sins, but also forsake them. His soul, &c. - He acted towards them, like one that felt their sufferings; he had pity upon them, quite changed his carriage towards them, and punished their enemies as sorely as if they had grieved and injured his own person.
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and serued the Lord: and his soule was grieued for the misery of Israel.
