⁴⁰ But the Lord will take revenge
    on those who conquer you,
and he will make them wander
    across desert sands.
⁴¹ When you are suffering
    and in need,
he will come to your rescue,
and your families will grow
    as fast as a herd of sheep.
⁴² You will see this because
    you obey the Lord,
but everyone who is wicked
    will be silenced.
