18. He will not let them be destroyed;he saves them from death itself.
19. God corrects people by sending sicknessand filling their bodies with pain.
20. Those who are sick lose their appetites,and even the finest food looks revolting.
21. Their bodies waste away to nothing;you can see all their bones;
22. they are about to go to the world of the dead.
23. Perhaps an angel may come to their aid —one of God's thousands of angels,who remind us of our duty.
24. In mercy the angel will say, “Release them!They are not to go down to the world of the dead.Here is the ransom to set them free.”
