²⁵ And God ^(A)looked upon the children of Israel, and God ^(B)acknowledged them.

³¹ So the people ^(A)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had ^(B)visited the children of Israel and that He ^(C)had looked on their affliction, then ^(D)they bowed their heads and worshiped.

⁷ And the Lord said: ^(A)“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry ^(B)because of their taskmasters, ^(C)for I know their ^[a]sorrows. ⁸ So ^(D)I have come down to ^(E)deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land ^(F)to a good and large land, to a land ^(G)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of ^(H)the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

²⁵ “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to ^(A)take away my reproach among people.”

¹² It may be that the Lord will look on ^[a]my affliction, and that the Lord will ^(A)repay me with ^(B)good for his cursing this day.”

²³ And ^(A)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; ^(B)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
