Psalm 107:17

Thanksgiving To Yahweh For His Of Deliverance

¹⁶
For He has shattered the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron apart. ¹⁷ 
Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their sins, were afflicted.
¹⁸
They detested all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.
