40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. |
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. |
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. |
44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: |
45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. |
46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. |
