you; they put your law behind their backs. They
killed your prophets, who had admonished them in
order to turn them back to you; they committed
awful blasphemies. 27 So you handed them over to
their enemies, who oppressed them. But when they
were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven
you heard them, and in your great compassion you
gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the
hand of their enemies.
