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.
