17Some people became fools and they turned against God. They had trouble and pain because of their sins. 18They did not want to eat any food, so they nearly died. Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles. 20He sent his word to them and he made them well again. He rescued them from the deep hole of death. 21So they should thank the Lord because of his faithful love. They should thank him for the great things that he does for people.
