He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears by oppression.
But they shall be his servants, so that they may know My service, and the service of the kings of the countries.
Are the comforts of God small with you, and a word dealing gently with you?
then He opens the ear of men and seals their teaching,
He also opens their ears to teaching, and commands that they return from iniquity.
Beware, do not turn to iniquity; for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
And if they are bound in chains, and are held in cords of affliction,
But He saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
But He raises up the poor from affliction and sets families like a flock.
For He shall deliver the needy when he cries; and the poor with no helper.
