²² They suffer painfully;
    their life is full of trouble.”

²⁶ And after my body has decayed,
    yet in my body I will see God!^[a]

³² The wicked are crushed by disaster,
    but the godly have a refuge when they die.

¹⁹ “Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds,
    with ceaseless aching in their bones.
²⁰ They lose their appetite
    for even the most delicious food.
²¹ Their flesh wastes away,
    and their bones stick out.

²² Must you also persecute me, like God does?
    Haven’t you chewed me up enough?

²⁰ I have been reduced to skin and bones
    and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.
