⁷ And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who `are' in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

⁴⁴ And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

¹⁹ The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

⁹ In all their distress `He is' no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

⁹ and dost see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry hast heard by the sea of Suph,

²³ And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of the service;

²⁴ and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;

²⁵ and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth.

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but `one' tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;

⁶ This poor `one' called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

⁴ I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

²⁴ For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

¹⁶ `At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin -- and thou hast anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath come in unto Me.'

²³ if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

¹¹ And they set over it princes of tribute, so as to afflict it with their burdens, and it buildeth store-cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses;

³² and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'

²¹ I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely -- and if not -- I know;'
