Thematic Bible



And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?


That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;


They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them


... are stopped in their going, they are falling; and they say one to another, Let us get up and go back to our people, to the land of our birth, away from the cruel sword.
