13 they wandered from nation to nation,and from one kingdom to another.
14 He let no one oppress them;he disciplined kings for their sake,
15 saying,“Don’t touch my chosen ones!Don’t harm my prophets!”
16 He called down a famine upon the earth;he cut off all the food supply.
17 He sent a man ahead of them – Joseph was sold as a servant.
18 The shackles hurt his feet;his neck was placed in an iron collar,
19 until the time when his prediction came true.The Lord’s word proved him right.
