The Message

⁶ O seed of Abraham, his servant, O child of Jacob, his chosen. ⁷ He's God, our God, in charge of the whole earth.

⁸ And he remembers, remembers his Covenant - for a thousand generations he's been as good as his word. ⁹ It's the Covenant he made with Abraham, the same oath he swore to Isaac, ¹⁰ The very statute he established with Jacob, the eternal Covenant with Israel, ¹¹ Namely, "I give you the land. Canaan is your hill-country inheritance." ¹² When they didn't count for much, a mere handful, and strangers at that, ¹³ Wandering from country to country, drifting from pillar to post, ¹⁴ He permitted no one to abuse them. He told kings to keep their hands off: ¹⁵ "Don't you dare lay a hand on my anointed, don't hurt a hair on the heads of my prophets." ¹⁶ Then he called down a famine on the country, he broke every last blade of wheat.

He warned kings on their behalf: ¹⁵ "Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets." ¹⁶ He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.
