God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun scorched land.

神叫孤独的有家，使被囚的出来享福；惟有悖逆的住在干燥之地。

上帝使孤独的有家，使被囚的出来享福；惟有悖逆的要住在干旱之地。

神使孤独的有家，使被囚的出来享福；惟有悖逆的要住在干旱之地。

祂使孤苦者有家，让被囚者欢然脱离牢笼。但叛逆者要住在干旱之地。

神使孤独的有家可居住；领被囚的出来，到丰盛之处；唯有悖逆的住在干旱之地。

神使孤独者在家安居，使被囚者出来进入自由，然而顽梗的人将住在焦干之地。

神叫孤獨的有家，使被囚的出來享福；惟有悖逆的住在乾燥之地。

上帝使孤獨的有家，使被囚的出來享福；惟有悖逆的要住在乾旱之地。

上帝使孤獨者有家、出幽囚者、俾得亨通、惟悖逆者處於燥土兮、○

上帝使無室者有棟宇、幽囚者得悅豫、橫逆者仍處旱乾兮。

天主使孤獨者有室家、使囚禁者離禍就福、惟使悖逆之人、居於乾旱之地、

主居聖所。福彼窮民。孤兒之父。嫠婦之鄰。

He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the Lord!

Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom, imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; he snapped their chains.

He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.

He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there.

Those who were well fed are now starving, and those who were starving are now full. The childless woman now has seven children, and the woman with many children wastes away.

As Isaiah said,“ Rejoice, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into a joyful shout, you who have never been in labor! For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband!”

the Lord pours contempt on their princes, causing them to wander in trackless wastelands.But he rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep.

For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.

Otherwise, I will strip her as naked as she was on the day she was born. I will leave her to die of thirst, as in a dry and barren wilderness.

The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate.Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said,“ Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists.Then the angel told him,“ Get dressed and put on your sandals.” And he did.“ Now put on your coat and follow me,” the angel ordered.So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn’t realize it was actually happening.They passed the first and second guard posts and came to the iron gate leading to the city, and this opened for them all by itself. So they passed through and started walking down the street, and then the angel suddenly left him.Peter finally came to his senses.“ It’s really true!” he said.“ The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!”When he realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer.He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it.When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone,“ Peter is standing at the door!”“ You’re out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided,“ It must be his angel.”Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed.He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison.“ Tell James and the other brothers what happened,” he said. And then he went to another place.At dawn there was a great commotion among the soldiers about what had happened to Peter.Herod Agrippa ordered a thorough search for him. When he couldn’t be found, Herod interrogated the guards and sentenced them to death. Afterward Herod left Judea to stay in Caesarea for a while.Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a delegation to make peace with him because their cities were dependent upon Herod’s country for food. The delegates won the support of Blastus, Herod’s personal assistant,and an appointment with Herod was granted. When the day arrived, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and made a speech to them.The people gave him a great ovation, shouting,“ It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!”Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, taking John Mark with them.

Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!

but I rejected his brother, Esau, and devastated his hill country. I turned Esau’s inheritance into a desert for jackals.”

The skies above will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth beneath will be as hard as iron.The Lord will change the rain that falls on your land into powder, and dust will pour down from the sky until you are destroyed.
