²⁷ For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.

⁶ And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

⁹ For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

²³ If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;

⁶ This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

¹² For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.

¹⁰ To him who put to death the first-fruits of Egypt: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:

¹¹ And took out Israel from among them: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:

²³ Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.

²⁴ And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.

²⁰ And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
