14. So they die youngin shameful disgrace.
15. Hard times and troubleare God's wayof getting our attention!
16. And at this very moment,God deeply desiresto lead you from troubleand to spread your tablewith your favourite food.
17. Now that the judgmentfor your sinshas fallen upon you,
18. don't let your angerand the pain you enduredmake you sneer at God.
19. Your reputation and richescannot protect youfrom distress,
20. nor can you find safetyin the dark world below.
