6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.

12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
13 And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
14 He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
15 [Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—
Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.

They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
20 The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
21 He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:

22 That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.
That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
23 Then came Israel into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
