Psalms 105:14
12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
