²⁷ These wait all upon thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.

²⁸ Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ ¶ Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works.

²³ ¶ And the Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity because they rebelled against me, and I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their enemies; so they all fell by the sword.

²⁴ According to their uncleanness and according to their rebellions have I done unto them and hid my face from them.

²⁵ Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Now I will turn the captivity of Jacob and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel and will be jealous for my holy name.

²⁶ After they shall feel their shame and all their rebellion by which they have rebelled against me when they dwelt safely in their land, and no one made them afraid.
