⁷ And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

²³ If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
