40The Lord burned with anger against his own people. 

He was disgusted with those who belonged to him. 

41He handed them over to other nations, 

and those who hated them ruled them. 

42Their enemies oppressed them 

and made them subject to their power. 

43He rescued them many times, 

but they continued to plot rebellion against him 

and to sink deeper because of their sin. 

44He saw that they were suffering 

when he heard their cry for help. 

45He remembered his promisebto them. 

In keeping with his rich mercy, he changed his plans. 

46He let them find compassion 

from all those who held them captive.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he abhorred his heritage;

he gave them into the hand of the nations,

so that those who hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were brought into subjection under their power.

Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes

and were brought low through their iniquity.

Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,

when he heard their cry.

For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

He caused them to be pitied

by all those who held them captive.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Therefore the Lord was angry with his people

and abhorred his inheritance.

He gave them into the hands of the nations,

and their foes ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them

and subjected them to their power.

Many times he delivered them,

but they were bent on rebellion

and they wasted away in their sin.

Yet he took note of their distress

when he heard their cry;

for their sake he remembered his covenant

and out of his great love he relented.

He caused all who held them captive

to show them mercy.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own inheritance.

He handed them over to the nations;

those who hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their power.

He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their iniquity.

When he heard their cry,

he took note of their distress,

remembered his covenant with them,

and relented according to the abundance

of his faithful love.

He caused them to be pitied

before all their captors.

NLTNew Living Translation

That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own special possession.

He handed them over to pagan nations,

and they were ruled by those who hated them.

Their enemies crushed them

and brought them under their cruel power.

Again and again he rescued them,

but they chose to rebel against him,

and they were finally destroyed by their sin.

Even so, he pitied them in their distress

and listened to their cries.

He remembered his covenant with them

and relented because of his unfailing love.

He even caused their captors

to treat them with kindness.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

So Yahweh’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his inheritance.

Then he gave them into the hand of the nations,

and those who hated them ruled over them.

And their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their hand.

Many times he delivered them,

but they rebelled in their counsel,

and were brought low by their iniquity.

Yet he looked upon their distress

when he heard their cry.

And he remembered his covenant with them,

and relented based on the abundance of his loyal love.

And he let them find compassion

before all their captors.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people,

Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;

And they that hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies also oppressed them,

And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many times did he deliver them;

But they provoked him with their counsel,

And were brought low for their iniquity.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,

When he heard their cry:

And he remembered for them his covenant,

And repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

He made them also to be pitied

Of all those that carried them captives.
