13. wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to the next,
14. God didn’t let anyone oppress them.God punished kings for their sake:
15. "Don’t touch my anointed ones;don’t harm my prophets!"
16. When God called for a famine in the land,destroying every source of food,
17. he sent a man ahead of them,who was sold as a slave: it was Joseph.
18. Joseph’s feet hurt in his shackles;his neck was in an iron collar,
19. until what he predicted actually happened,until what the Lord had said proved him true.
