Psalms 105:20
18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
