16 Then, uncovereth he the ear of men, and, on their correction, affixeth a seal;
17 To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:
18 He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.
19 Or he is chastised with pain, upon his bed, and, the strife of his bones, is unceasing! 20 So that his life maketh loathsome [his] food, and his soul, dainty meat; 21 His flesh wasteth away out of sight, and bared are the bones once unseen; 22 So doth his soul draw near to the pit, and his life to the inflicters of death: 23 If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret––one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness, 24 Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption! 25 His flesh hath been made fresher than a child’s, he hath returned to the days of his youth;
