⁹ Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will ^(A)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

^4 (A)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; ^(B)there shall be no more death, ^(C)nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

¹⁴ therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore,” says the Lord God. ^15 (A)“Nor will I let you hear the taunts of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore,” says the Lord God.’ ”

²³ Now it happened ^(A)in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel ^(B)groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and ^(C)their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

¹³ So the Egyptians made the children of Israel ^(A)serve with ^[a]rigor. ¹⁴ And they ^(B)made their lives bitter with hard bondage—^(C)in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.

^2 (A)in which you once walked according to the ^[a]course of this world, according to ^(B)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in ^(C)the sons of disobedience, ^3 (D)among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in ^(E)the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and ^(F)were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
