Deuteronomy 32:36

כִּֽי־יָדִ֤ין יְהוָה֙ עַמֹּ֔ו וְעַל־עֲבָדָ֖יו יִתְנֶחָ֑ם כִּ֤י יִרְאֶה֙ כִּי־אָ֣זְלַת יָ֔ד וְאֶ֖פֶס עָצ֥וּר וְעָזֽוּב׃

For YHWH will judge His people and will have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone and there is none remaining, neither bond nor free.
