¹⁶ Lord, by these things men live; Wholly therein is the life of my spirit: You restore me, and cause me to live.

³ He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live.

¹⁹ He is chastened also with pain on his bed, With continual strife in his bones;

²⁰ So that his life abhors bread, And his soul dainty food.

²¹ His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen; His bones that were not seen stick out.

²² Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

²³ "If there is beside him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show to man what is right for him;

²⁴ Then God is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'

²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returns to the days of his youth.

²⁶ He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, So that he sees his face with joy: He restores to man his righteousness.

²⁷ He sings before men, and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it didn't profit me.

²⁸ He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, My life shall see the light.'

²⁰ You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²⁵ My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!

⁵ You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways: behold, you were angry, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time; and shall we be saved?

⁴ But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"

³² But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁰ For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
