This is a powerful statement. So far throughout Judges each time the Isrealites called out to God he would save them without question, knowing that they would go back again. This time, he has shown how fed up he is with saving them over and over again. I think this is true with all of us in our Walk with God. Yes, once we accept Christ, we are sealed and under a new Covenant, but if we continuously put ourselves back in situations that he has pulled us out of, I think he will eventually just let us stay there, allowing things to happen to us. Since we have turned our backs from him time and time again, he is saying "alright, you made this bed over and over again, you can lay in it for a time."

This verse tells me that God saved them many times,but they just continued like nothing happened. So when distress came again and they cried out to God. God told them to more or less go away! This tells me that like us, God does not like to be taken advantage of. The Isrealites were using God when danger came but when everything was fine well who needs God. God wasnt havent anything to do woth this atittude, he wantss us heart and soul all the time not just mouth sayers or when it is convient.
