12 aWhen they were few in number,
Indeed very few,
band strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From
one kingdom to another people,
14 aHe permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes,
bHe rebuked kings for their sakes,
15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
16 Moreover
aHe called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the
bprovision of bread.
17 aHe sent a man before them—
Joseph—
who bwas sold as a slave.
