18 aThey hurt his feet with fetters,
1He was laid in irons.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
aThe word of the
Lord tested him.
20 aThe king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.
21 aHe made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,
22 To
1 bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.
23 aIsrael also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt
bin the land of Ham.
24 aHe increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 aHe turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
26 aHe sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They
aperformed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
