43WhenH834 He performedH7760 His 1signsH226 in EgyptH4714 And His 2marvelsH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814,44And 3turnedH2015 their riversH2975 to bloodH1818, And their streamsH5140, so that they could not drinkH8354.45He sentH7971 swarmsH6157 ofH6157 4fliesH6157 among them that devouredH398 them, And 5frogsH6854 that destroyedH7843 them.46He also gaveH5414 their cropsH2981 to the 6grasshopperH2625 And the productH3018 ofH3018 their laborH3018 to the 7locustH697.47He 8destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with 9hailstonesH1259 And their sycamoreH8256 treesH8256 with frostH2602.48He also turnedH5462 their 10cattleH1165 overH5462 to the hailstonesH1259, And their herdsH4735 to boltsH7565 ofH7565 lightningH7565.49He 11sentH7971 His burningH2740 angerH639 upon them, FuryH5678 and indignationH2195 and troubleH6869, A bandH4917 of 12destroyingH7451 angelsH4397.50He leveledH6424 a pathH5410 for His angerH639; He did not spareH2820 their soulsH5315 from deathH4194, But 13turnedH5462 their livesH2421 overH5462 to the plagueH1698,51And 14struckH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714, The 15firstH7225 andH7225 bestH7225 of their vigorH202 in the tentsH168 of 16HamH2526.52But He 17ledH5265 His own peopleH5971 outH5265 like sheepH6629, And guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 18like a flockH5739;53He ledH5148 them 19safelyH983, so that they did not fearH6342; But 20the seaH3220 engulfedH3680 their enemiesH340.
54So 21He broughtH935 them to His holyH6944 22landH1366, To thisH2088 2324hillH2022 countryH2022 25which His rightH3225 handH3225 had gainedH7069.55He also 26droveH1644 outH1644 the nationsH1471 from them And 27apportionedH5307 them as an inheritanceH5159 by measurementH2256, And had the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.56Yet they 2829temptedH5254 and 30rebelledH4784 againstH854 the MostH5945 HighH5945 GodH430 And did not keepH8104 His testimoniesH5713,57But turnedH5472 backH5472 and 31actedH898 treacherouslyH898 like their fathersH1; They 32turnedH2015 asideH2015 like a treacherousH7423 bowH7198.58For they 33provokedH3707 Him with their 34highH1116 placesH1116 And 35movedH7065 Him toH7065 jealousyH7065 with their 36carvedH6456 imagesH6456.59When GodH430 heardH8085 them, He 37was filledH5674 withH5674 38wrathH5674 And He utterlyH3966 39rejectedH3988 IsraelH3478;60So that He 40abandonedH5203 the 41dwellingH4908 placeH4908 at ShilohH7887, The tentH168 42which He had pitchedH7931 among peopleH120,61And He gaveH5414 upH5414 His 43strengthH5797 to captivityH7628 And His gloryH8597 44into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862.62He also 45turnedH5462 His peopleH5971 overH5462 to the swordH2719, And 46was filledH5674 withH5674 wrathH5674 at His inheritanceH5159.6347FireH784 devouredH398 48His youngH970 menH970, And 49His 50virginsH1330 hadH1984 noH3808 weddingH1984 songsH1984.6451His 52priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719, And 53His 54widowsH490 could not weepH1058.
65Then the LordH136 55awokeH3364 as if from sleepH3463, Like a 56warriorH1368 57overcomeH7320 by wineH3196.66He 5859droveH5221 His adversariesH6862 backwardH268; He putH5414 on them an everlastingH5769 disgraceH2781.67He also 60rejectedH3988 the tentH168 of JosephH3130, And did not chooseH977 the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669,68But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, MountH2022 61ZionH6726, whichH834 He lovedH157.
