and uphold their cause.(A)

and You are angry with them
and hand them over to the enemy,
and their captors deport them to the enemy’s country(C)
whether distant or nearby—
47 and when they come to their senses[a]
in the land where they were deported
and repent and petition You in their captors’ land:
“We have sinned and done wrong;
we have been wicked,”(D)
