14. Yet, notwithstanding suffer'd heno man to do them wrong:Yea, for their sakes, he did reprovekings, who were great and strong.
15. Thus did he say, Touch ye not thosethat mine anointed be,Nor do the prophets any harmthat do pertain to me.
16. He call'd for famine on the land,he brake the staff of bread:
17. But yet he sent a man before,by whom they should be fed;Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rallysell for a slave did they;
18. Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,and he in irons lay;
19. Until the time that his word cameto give him liberty;The word and purpose of the Lorddid him in prison try.
20. Then sent the king, and did commandthat he enlarg'd should be:He that the people's ruler wasdid send to set him free.
21. A lord to rule his familyhe rais'd him, as most fit;To him of all that he possess'dhe did the charge commit:
22. That he might at his pleasure bindthe princes of the land;And he might teach his senatorswisdom to understand.
