27 So you handed them over to their enemies,
    and their enemies treated them badly.
But in this time of trouble our ancestors cried out to you,
    and you heard from heaven.
You had great mercy

    they again did what was evil.
So you left them to their enemies
    who ruled over them.
When they cried out to you again,
    you heard from heaven.
    Because of your mercy, you saved them again and again.

    but they sinned against your laws.
They were stubborn, unwilling, and disobedient.
