39 Thus were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40 Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was kindled against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Many times he delivered them, But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry.
45 He remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
