²⁵ God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

³¹ The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

²⁵ "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men."

⁷ Yahweh said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

⁸ I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

²³ Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

²² Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

⁶ For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

²⁷ He sings before men, and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it didn't profit me.

¹² It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day.

¹¹ She vowed a vow, and said, Yahweh of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head.

⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn't know Joseph.
