14. He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
15. “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”
16. He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17. and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18. They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
19. till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true.
