In His Name, be He glorified!

And they were covered by humiliation and misery.

One fine point about this verse

My Dear Brother Re’fet Bey, Commander of the Risale‑i Nur and Servant of the Qur’an!

The Jewish nation has always been excessive in its love of life and this world, and has therefore deserved the blows of abasement and misery it has received every century. However, in the Palestine question it is not love of life and this world, but a significant sort of national and religious feeling because Palestine is where the prophets of the Children of Israel are buried, and the prophets belonged to their nation. In consequence they have received no swift blows. A small group could never otherwise have held out in the midst of the vast Arab lands; it would quickly have been humiliated.
