42 Miraron, y no hubo quien los librase; á Jehová, mas no les respondió.
43 Yo los desmenuzaré como polvo de la tierra; hollarélos como á lodo de las plazas, y los disiparé.
44 Tú me libraste de contiendas de pueblos: tú me guardaste para que fuese cabeza de gentes: pueblos que no conocía, me sirvieron.
45 Los extraños titubeaban á mí: en oyendo, me obedecían.
46 Los extraños desfallecían, y temblaban en sus escondrijos.
