They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.
Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help.
‘Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.’
Then I will return again to my lair until they have suffered their punishment. Then they will seek me; in their distress they will earnestly seek me.
