17Others were foolish. They suffered because of their sins.

They suffered because they wouldn’t obey the Lord.

18They refused to eat anything.

They came close to passing through the gates of death.

19Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.

And he saved them from their troubles.

20He gave his command and healed them.

He saved them from the grave.

21Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love.

Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.

22Let them sacrifice thank offerings.

Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Some were fools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

they loathed any kind of food,

and they drew near to the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them,

and delivered them from their destruction.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Some became fools through their rebellious ways

and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.

They loathed all food

and drew near the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them;

he rescued them from the grave.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

Let them sacrifice thank offerings

and tell of his works with songs of joy.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Fools suffered affliction

because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities.

They loathed all food

and came near the gates of death.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;

he saved them from their distress.

He sent his word and healed them;

he rescued them from their traps.

Let them give thanks to the Lord

for his faithful love

and his wondrous works for all humanity.

Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices

and announce his works with shouts of joy.

NLTNew Living Translation

Some were fools; they rebelled

and suffered for their sins.

They couldn’t stand the thought of food,

and they were knocking on death’s door.

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them,

snatching them from the door of death.

Let them praise the Lord for his great love

and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving

and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Fools, because of their rebellious way

and their iniquities, were afflicted.

Their soul abhorred all food,

and they approached the gates of death.

Then they called to Yahweh for help in their trouble.

He saved them from their distresses.

He sent his word and healed them,

and he delivered them from their pits.

Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love,

and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,

and let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and tell of his works with rejoicing.

KJV 1900King James Version

Fools because of their transgression,

And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;

And they draw near unto the gates of death.

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,

And he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sent his word, and healed them,

And delivered them from their destructions.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

And declare his works with rejoicing.
