18:033:017 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from
man.
18:033:018 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
perishing by the sword.
18:033:019 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude
of his bones with strong pain:
18:033:020 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
18:033:021 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his
bones that were not seen stick out.
18:033:022 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
destroyers.
18:033:023 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a
thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
18:033:024 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
18:033:025 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to
the days of his youth:
18:033:026 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
