16. He breaks down bronze gates.And he cuts apart iron bars.
17. Some became fools who turned against God.They suffered for the evil they did.
18. They refused to eat anything.So they almost died.
19. In their misery they cried out to the Lord.And he saved them from their troubles.
20. God gave the command and healed them.So they were saved from dying.
21. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loveand for the miracles he does for people.
