26The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free, was suffering;14:26 Or Israel was suffering. They were without a ruler or leader, and there was no one to help them.
26For the Lord saw the misery of Israel, which was very bitter; for there was neither 14:26 Or child nor adultbond nor free spared, nor was there any helper for Israel.
26The Lord had seen how much everyone in Israel was suffering. It didn’t matter whether they were slaves or free. They didn’t have anyone to help them.
