14. He allowed no one to oppress them;He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15. “Do not touch My anointed ones, or harm My prophets.”
16. He called down famine against the landand destroyed the entire food supply.
17. He had sent a man ahead of them —Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18. They hurt his feet with shackles;his neck was put in an iron collar.
19. Until the time his prediction came true,the word of the Lord tested him.
