¹⁵ For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.

²⁶ So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:

⁵ But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

¹⁴ And you will see it and your heart will be glad, and your bones will get new strength, like young grass: and the hand of the Lord will be seen at work for his servants, and his wrath against his haters.

⁷ We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.

⁸ You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.

⁹ For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.

³³ So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

⁴ For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)

¹³ So the Philistines were overcome, and did not come into the country of Israel again: and all the days of Samuel the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines.

¹¹ So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

⁹ But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.

⁶ But the hand of the Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and he sent disease on them through all the country of Ashdod.

¹⁵ Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
