13 they wandered from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress them;for their sake he rebuked kings:
15 ‘Do not touch my anointed ones;do my prophets no harm.’
16 He called down famine on the landand destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them –Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold came to pass,till the word of the Lord proved him true.
