16. Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
17. He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
18. Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
19. And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
20. He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
21. Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
