16 then, he opens the ears of men, and, educating them, he teaches discipline,
17 so that he may divert a man from the things that he is doing, and may free him from pride,
18 rescuing his soul from corruption and his life from passing away by the sword.
19 Likewise, he rebukes by sorrow in bed, and he causes all of his bones to become weak.
20 Bread becomes abominable to him in his life, and, to his soul, the meat which before he desired.
21 His body will waste away, and his bones, which had been covered, will be revealed.
22 His soul has approached corruption, and his life has drawn near to what is deadly.
