⁷ And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

¹⁵ What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

⁸ For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

⁹ Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
