²⁵ And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.

³¹ And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.

²⁵ The Lord has done this to me, for his eyes were on me, to take away my shame in the eyes of men.

⁷ And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;

⁸ And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

²³ And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

²² Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

⁶ Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

²⁷ He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.

¹² It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.

¹¹ And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

⁸ Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
