And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 10 of Judges. Israel confesses its sin and asks for deliverance, but God recalls previous deliverances and asks why he should continue saving them. The people remove the foreign gods and begin serving the Lord. Finally, it is said that God was distressed by Israel’s misery. The scene deepens the judges cycle by showing both the seriousness of unfaithfulness and divine compassion toward his suffering people.

Und sie taten von sich die fremden Götter und dienten dem HERRN. Und es jammerte ihn, daß Israel so geplagt ward.
Y quitaron de entre sí los dioses ajenos, y sirvieron a Jehová: y su alma fue angustiada a causa del trabajo de Israel.
Et ils ôtèrent les dieux étrangers du milieu d'eux, et servirent l'Eternel, qui fut touché des maux d'Israël.
Allora tolsero gl’iddii degli stranieri del mezzo di loro, e servirono al Signore; ed egli si accorò l’animo per lo travaglio d’Israele.
E tiraram os deuses alheios do meio de si, e serviram ao SENHOR; então se angustiou a sua alma por causa da desgraça de Israel.
以色列 人就除掉他們中間的外邦神明,事奉耶和華。耶和華因 以色列 所受的苦難而心裏焦急。
