[27] Indeed, he was so ill that he nearly died. But God had mercy on him—and not just on him but on me too, sparing me from having grief pile upon grief.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
