7 Now it came about when the sons of Israel cried to the Lord on account of Midian , 8 that the Lord sent a prophet to the sons of Israel , and he said to them, "Thus says the Lord , the God of Israel , 'It was I who brought you up from Egypt and brought you out from the house of slavery . 9 'I delivered you from the hands of the Egyptians and from the hands of all your oppressors , and dispossessed them before e you and gave you their land , 10 and I said to you, "I am the Lord your God ; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live . But you have not obeyed e Me.""'

Commentary on Judges 6:7-10
(Read Judges 6:7-10)
They cried to God for a deliverer, and he sent them a prophet to teach them. When God furnishes a land with faithful ministers, it is a token that he has mercy in store for it. He charges them with rebellion against the Lord; he intends to bring them to repentance. Repentance is real when the sinfulness of sin, as disobedience to God, is chiefly lamented.
