The children of the Lord are cruelly crushed under the yoke of the world

When you go after strange Gods you will be cruelly oppressed by them

And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.
Judges 10:8

Jdg 10:10 Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals.

Jdg 10:14 Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble.

Jdg 10:16 So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord’s servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.
