Bible in Basic English
"Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;"
— Psalms 107:17, Bible in Basic English
“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.”
He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.
Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.
Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;
They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.
Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.
