⁹ Now therefore, behold, ^(A)the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the ^(B)oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

⁴ So Jehoahaz ^(A)pleaded with the Lord, and the Lord listened to him; for ^(B)He saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

²⁶ For the Lord ^(A)saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and whether bond or free, ^(B)there was no helper for Israel.
