9For he has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things. 10Others sat in darkness and gloom — prisoners in cruel chains — because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the counsel of the Most High. 12He broke their spirits with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he saved them from their distress.
