10. Some sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,being prisoners in affliction and irons,
11. because they rebelled against the words of Godand rejected the counsel of the Most High.
12. Therefore He brought down their hearts with hard labor;they fell down, and there was none to help.
13. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,and He delivered them out of their distress.
14. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of deathand broke apart their bonds.
15. Let them praise the Lord for His goodnessand for His wonderful works to the people!
16. For He has broken the gates of bronzeand cut the bars of iron in two.
17. Some were fools because of their transgressions,and because of their iniquities they are afflicted.
18. They loathed all manner of food,and they drew near to the gates of death.
