33:16 Then he gives a revelation
and terrifies them with warnings,
33:17 to turn a person from his sin,
and to cover a person’s pride.
33:18 He spares a person’s life from corruption,
his very life from crossing over
33:19 Or a person is chastened
and with the continual strife of his bones,
33:20 so that his life loathes food,
and his soul rejects appetizing fare.
33:21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
and his bones, which were not seen,
are easily visible.
33:22 He
and his life to the messengers of death.
33:23 If there is an angel beside him,
one mediator
to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness;
33:24 and if
‘Spare
to the place of corruption,
I have found a ransom for him,’
33:25 then his flesh is restored
he returns to the days of his youthful vigor.
6:9 Listen! The Lord is calling
It is wise to respect your authority, O Lord!
Listen, O nation, and those assembled in the city!
