* "
Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against thee and cast thy law behind their back and killed thy prophets ,
who had warned them in order to turn them back to thee ,
and they committed great blasphemies .
*
Therefore thou didst give them into the hand of their enemies ,
who made them suffer ;
and in the time of their suffering they cried to thee and thou didst hear them from heaven ;
and according to thy great mercies thou didst give them saviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies .
*
But after they had rest they did evil again before thee ,
and thou didst abandon them to the hand of their enemies ,
so that they had dominion over them ;
yet when they turned and cried to thee thou didst hear from heaven ,
and many times thou didst deliver them according to thy mercies .
*
And thou didst warn them in order to turn them back to thy law .
Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey thy commandments ,
but sinned against thy ordinances ,
by the observance of which a man shall live ,
and turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey .
*
Many years thou didst bear with them ,
and didst warn them by thy Spirit through thy prophets ;
yet they would not give ear .
Therefore thou didst give them into the hand of the peoples of the lands .
