40. So the Lord’s anger burned against his people;he despised his own possession.
41. God handed them over to the nations;people who hated them ruled over them.
42. Their enemies oppressed them,and they were humbled under their power.
43. God delivered them numerous times,but they were determined to rebel,and so they were brought down by their own sin.
44. But God saw their distresswhen he heard their loud cries.
45. God remembered his covenant for their sake,and because of how much faithful love he has,God changed his mind.
