15-16 Sometimes in the night,he uses terrifying dreamsto give us warnings.
17 God does this to make us turnfrom sin and pride
18 and to protect usfrom being swept awayto the world of the dead.
19 Sometimes we are punishedwith a serious illnessand aching joints.
20 Merely the thoughtof our favourite foodmakes our stomachs sick,
21 and we become so skinnythat our bones stick out.
22 We feel death and the gravetaking us in their grip.
