    with ceaseless aching in their bones.
20 They lose their appetite
    for even the most delicious food.

    and their bones stick out.
22 They are at death’s door;
    the angels of death wait for them.

‘Rescue him from the grave,
    for I have found a ransom for his life.’
25 Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s,
    firm and youthful again.
