40. And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.
41. And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.
42. And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:
43. many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44. And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.
45. And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
