And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.
And possessed the land;
bYou subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
The Canaanites,
And gave them into their hands,
With their kings
And the people of the land,
That they might do with them as they wished.
And possessed bhouses full of all goods,
Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves,
And fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate and were filled and cgrew fat,
And delighted themselves in Your great dgoodness.
And rebelled against You,
bCast Your law behind their backs
And killed Your cprophets, who testified against them
To turn them to Yourself;
And they worked great provocations.
Who oppressed them;
And in the time of their trouble,
When they cried to You,
You bheard from heaven;
And according to Your abundant mercies
cYou gave them deliverers who saved them
From the hand of their enemies.
aThey again did evil before You.
Therefore You left them in the hand of their enemies,
So that they had dominion over them;
Yet when they returned and cried out to You,
You heard from heaven;
And bmany times You delivered them according to Your mercies,
That You might bring them back to Your law.
Yet they acted1 proudly,
And did not heed Your commandments,
But sinned against Your judgments,
a‘Which if a man does, he shall live by them.’
And they shrugged their shoulders,
1Stiffened their necks,
And would not hear.
And1 testified aagainst them by Your Spirit bin Your prophets.
Yet they would not listen;
cTherefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
