12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
13 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

14 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

33 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
34 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
35 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

41 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
43 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
44 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
45 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
