13 You belong to the familyof Israel, his servant;you are his chosen ones,the descendants of Jacob.
14 The Lord is our God,bringing justiceeverywhere on earth.
15 We must never forgethis agreement and his promises,not in thousands of years.
16-17 God made an eternal promiseto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
18 when he said, “I'll give youthe land of Canaan.”
19 At the time there wereonly a few of us,and we were homeless.
20 We wandered from nationto nation, from one countryto another.
