12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder.
15 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.
17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, And because of their iniquities.
18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
