Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help.

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难，

但祂听见他们在苦难中呼求时，仍然眷顾他们。

可是他听到了他们哀叫的时候，就垂顾他们的苦难。

然而，当他听到他们呼声的时候，就垂顾他们的危难，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候，就眷顧他們的急難，

但祂聽見他們在苦難中呼求時，仍然眷顧他們。

可是他聽到了他們哀叫的時候，就垂顧他們的苦難。

然而他聽見了他們的喊求時，就看到他們於急難中。

然而，當他聽到他們呼聲的時候，就垂顧他們的危難，

然猶聽其呼籲、恤其患難兮、

民逢禍患、主聞其籲、復加眷顧兮、

斯民急難時、主仍眷顧之、俯聽其哀告、

窮極呼主。主聞其哭。天心實慈。愍其窘蹙。

Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;

Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering.

Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.

Even so, he pitied them in their distress and listened to their cries.

When he heard their cry, he took note of their distress,

Nevertheless He looked at their distress When He heard their cry;

Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

When He heard their cry, He took note of their distress,

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

When the Israelites cried out for help to the LORD, he raised up a deliverer for the Israelites who rescued them. His name was Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

The Israelites cried out for help to the LORD, because Sisera had nine hundred chariots with iron-rimmed wheels, and he cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.

When the LORD raised up leaders for them, the LORD was with each leader and delivered the people from their enemies while the leader remained alive. The LORD felt sorry for them when they cried out in agony because of what their harsh oppressors did to them.

The Israelites said to Samuel,“ Keep crying out to the LORD our God so that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines!”So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried out to the LORD on Israel’s behalf, and the LORD answered him.As Samuel was offering burnt offerings, the Philistines approached to do battle with Israel. But on that day the LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines. He caused them to panic, and they were defeated by Israel.Then the men of Israel left Mizpah and chased the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth Car.Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying,“ Up to here the LORD has helped us.”

Israel was so severely weakened by Midian that the Israelites cried out to the LORD for help.When the Israelites cried out to the LORD for help because of Midian,he sent a prophet to the Israelites. He said to them,“ This is what the LORD God of Israel says:‘ I brought you up from Egypt and took you out of that place of slavery.I rescued you from Egypt’s power and from the power of all who oppressed you. I drove them out before you and gave their land to you.I said to you,“ I am the LORD your God! Do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living!” But you have disobeyed me.’”

The LORD saw Israel’s intense suffering; everyone was weak and incapacitated and Israel had no deliverer.The LORD had not decreed that he would blot out Israel’s memory from under heaven, so he delivered them through Jeroboam son of Joash.

The Israelites cried out for help to the LORD:“ We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”The LORD said to the Israelites,“ Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian when they oppressed you? You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power.But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again.Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!”But the Israelites said to the LORD,“ We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today!”They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the LORD. Finally the LORD grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.

Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who oppressed them. But in the time of their distress they called to you, and you heard from heaven. In your abundant compassion you provided them with deliverers to rescue them from their adversaries.“ Then, when they were at rest again, they went back to doing evil before you. Then you abandoned them to their enemies, and they gained dominion over them. When they again cried out to you, in your compassion you heard from heaven and rescued them time and again.And you solemnly admonished them in order to return them to your law, but they behaved presumptuously and did not obey your commandments. They sinned against your ordinances– those by which an individual, if he obeys them, will live. They boldly turned from you; they rebelled and did not obey.You prolonged your kindness with them for many years, and you solemnly admonished them by your Spirit through your prophets. Still they paid no attention, so you delivered them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.However, due to your abundant mercy you did not do away with them altogether; you did not abandon them. For you are a merciful and compassionate God.“ So now, our God– the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity– do not regard as inconsequential all the hardship that has befallen us– our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people– from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day!You are righteous with regard to all that has happened to us, for you have acted faithfully. It is we who have been in the wrong!Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our ancestors have not kept your law. They have not paid attention to your commandments or your testimonies by which you have solemnly admonished them.Even when they were in their kingdom and benefiting from your incredible goodness that you had lavished on them in the spacious and fertile land you had set before them, they did not serve you, nor did they turn from their evil practices.“ So today we are slaves! In the very land you gave to our ancestors to eat its fruit and to enjoy its good things– we are slaves!Its abundant produce goes to the kings you have placed over us due to our sins. They rule over our bodies and our livestock as they see fit, and we are in great distress!( 10: 1)“ Because of all of this we are entering into a binding covenant in written form; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests have affixed their names on the sealed document.”
