So that they might return to You,
And ^ethey committed great ^{▼▼ Lit acts of contempt}blasphemies.
27 “Therefore You ^gdelivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them,
But when they cried to You ^hin the time of their distress,
You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion
You ⁱgave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.
28 “But ^jas soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You;
Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them.
When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven,
And ^kmany times You rescued them according to Your compassion,
29 And ^ladmonished them in order to turn them back to Your law.
