18 He spares also his soul from death, and does not allow him to fall in war.
19 And again, He chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones are pained.
20 And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
21 until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall show his bones bare.
22 His soul also draws near to death, and his life is in Hades.
23 Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and show his folly;
24 He will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as fresh plaster upon a wall; and He will fill his bones with marrow.
25 And He will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and He will restore him among men in his full strength.
26 And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted by Him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression of praise: for He will render to men their due.
27 Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? And He has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.
28 Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.
29 Behold, all these things, the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.
30 And He has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise Him in the light.
