their clothes{H8008} waxed not old,{H1086} and their feet{H7272} swelled{H1216} not. 22 Moreover thou gavest{H5414} them kingdoms{H4467} and peoples,{H5971} which thou didst allot{H2505} after their portions:{H6285} so they possessed{H3423} the land{H776} of Sihon,{H5511} even the land{H776} of the king{H4428} of Heshbon,{H2809} and the land{H776} of Og{H5747} king{H4428} of Bashan.{H1316} 23 Their children{H1121} also multipliedst{H7235} thou as the stars{H3556} of heaven,{H8064} and broughtest{H935} them into the land{H776} concerning which thou didst say{H559} to their fathers,{H1} that they should go in{H935} to possess{H3423} it. 24 So the children{H1121} went in{H935} and possessed{H3423} the land,{H776} and thou subduedst{H3665} before{H6440} them the inhabitants{H3427} of the land,{H776} the Canaanites,{H3669} and gavest{H5414} them into their hands,{H3027} with their kings,{H4428} and the peoples{H5971} of the land,{H776} that they might do{H6213} with them as they would.{H7522} 25 And they took{H3920} fortified{H1219} cities,{H5892} and a fat{H8082} land,{H127} and possessed{H3423} houses{H1004} full{H4392} of all good things,{H2898} cisterns{H953} hewn{H2672} out, vineyards,{H3754} and oliveyards,{H2132} and fruit -{H3978} trees{H6086} in abundance:{H7230} so they did eat,{H398} and were filled,{H7646} and became fat,{H8080} and delighted{H5727} themselves in thy great{H1419} goodness.{H2898} 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient,{H4784} and rebelled{H4775} against thee, and cast{H7993} thy law{H8451} behind{H310} their back,{H1458} and slew{H2026} thy prophets{H5030} that testified{H5749} against them to turn{H7725} them again unto thee, and they wrought{H6213} great{H1419} provocations.{H5007} 27 Therefore thou deliveredst{H5414} them into the hand{H3027} of their adversaries,{H6862} who distressed{H6887} them: and in the time{H6256} of their trouble,{H6869} when they cried{H6817} unto thee, thou heardest{H8085} from heaven;{H8064} and according to thy manifold{H7227} mercies{H7356} thou gavest{H5414} them saviours{H3467} who saved{H3467} them out of the hand{H3027} of their adversaries.{H6862} 28 But after they had rest,{H5117} they did{H6213} evil{H7451} again{H7725} before{H6440} thee; therefore leftest{H5800} thou them in the hand{H3027} of their enemies,{H341} so that they had the dominion{H7287} over them: yet when they returned,{H7725} and cried{H2199} unto thee, thou heardest{H8085} from heaven;{H8064} and many{H7227} times{H6256} didst thou deliver{H5337} them according to thy mercies,{H7356} 29 and testifiedst{H5749} against them, that thou mightest bring them again{H7725} unto thy law.{H8451} Yet they dealt proudly,{H2102} and hearkened{H8085} not unto thy commandments,{H4687} but sinned{H2398} against thine ordinances,{H4941} (which if a man{H120} do,{H6213} he shall live{H2421} in them), and withdrew{H5414} the shoulder,{H3802} and hardened{H7185} their neck,{H6203} and would not hear.{H8085} 30 Yet many{H7227} years{H8141} didst thou bear with them, and testifiedst{H5749} against them by thy Spirit{H7307} through{H3027} thy prophets:{H5030} yet would they not give{H5414} ear:{H238} therefore gavest{H5414} thou them into the hand{H3027} of the peoples{H5971} of the lands.{H776} 31 Nevertheless in thy manifold{H7227} mercies{H7356} thou didst{H6213} not make a full end{H3617} of them, nor forsake{H5800} them; for thou art a gracious{H2587} and merciful{H7349} God.{H410} 32 Now therefore, our God,{H430} the great,{H1419} the mighty,{H1368} and the terrible{H3372} God,{H410} who keepest{H8104} covenant{H1285} and lovingkindness,{H2617} let not all the travail{H8513} seem little{H4591} before{H6440} thee, that hath come{H4672} upon us, on our kings,{H4428} on our princes,{H8269} and on our priests,{H3548} and on our prophets,{H5030} and on our fathers,{H1} and on all thy people,{H5971} since the time{H3117} of the kings{H4428} of Assyria{H804} unto this day.{H3117} 33 Howbeit thou art just{H6662} in all that is come{H935} upon us; for thou hast dealt{H6213} truly, but we have done{H6213} wickedly;{H7561} 34 neither have our kings,{H4428} our princes,{H8269} our priests,{H3548} nor our fathers,{H1} kept{H6213} thy law,{H8451} nor hearkened{H7181} unto thy commandments{H4687} and thy testimonies{H5715} wherewith thou didst testify{H5749} against them. 35 For they have not served{H5647} thee in their kingdom,{H4438} and in thy great{H7227} goodness{H2898} that thou gavest{H5414} them, and in the large{H7342} and fat{H8082} land{H776} which thou gavest{H5414} before{H6440} them, neither turned{H7725} they from their wicked{H7451} works.{H4611} 36 Behold, we are servants{H5650} this day,{H3117} and as for the land{H776} that thou gavest{H5414} unto our fathers{H1} to eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} thereof and the good{H2898} thereof, behold, we are servants{H5650} in it. 37 And it yieldeth much{H7235} increase{H8393} unto the kings{H4428} whom thou hast set{H5414} over us because of our sins:{H2403} also they have power{H4910} over our bodies,{H1472} and over our cattle,{H929} at their pleasure,{H7522} and we are in great{H1419} distress.{H6869} 38 And yet for all this we make{H3772} a sure{H548} covenant, and write{H3789} it; and our princes,{H8269} our Levites,{H3881} [and] our priests,{H3548} seal{H2856} unto it.
  • Ps 126:1-2 : 1 A Song of Ascents. When Jehovah{H3068} brought back{H7725} those that returned{H7725} to Zion,{H6726} We were like unto them that dream.{H2492} 2 Then was our mouth{H6310} filled{H4390} with laughter,{H7814} And our tongue{H3956} with singing:{H7440} Then said{H559} they among the nations,{H1471} Jehovah{H3068} hath done{H6213} great things{H1431} for them.
