18 The very thought of foodwas disgusting to you,and you were almost dead.
19 You were in serious trouble,but you prayed to the Lord,and he rescued you.
20 By the power of his own word,he healed you and saved youfrom destruction.
21 You should praise the Lordfor his loveand for the wonderful thingshe does for all of us.
22 You should celebrateby offering sacrificesand singing joyful songsto tell what he has done.
23 Some of you made a livingby sailing the mighty sea,
24 and you saw the miraclesthe Lord performed there.
