Psalm 106:40-42

The Voice

⁴⁰ Therefore the Eternal’s anger was ignited against His people;
    He came to despise the people of His inheritance.
⁴¹ So He handed them over to the control of foreign nations,
    to be ruled by people who hated them.
⁴² Their enemies exploited them, victimized them,
    and restrained them by abusive power.
