26 But they were disobedient and rebelled against you.

They flung your law behind their backss

and killed your prophetst

who warned them

in order to turn them back to you.

They committed terrible blasphemies.

27 So you handed them over to their enemies,

who oppressed them.

In their time of distress, they cried out to you,

and you heard from heaven.

In your abundant compassion

you gave them deliverers, who rescued them

from the power of their enemies.
