11. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

15. Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
16. And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

18. They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;
