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.
19 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He saves them out of their distresses.
20 He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers them from their graves.
21 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
