40. Therefore the Lord burnt with anger 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. He rescued them many times,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 loving kindnesses.
46. He made them also to be pitiedby all those who carried them captive.
