Ezekiel 36:11

¹¹ And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Job 17:15

¹⁵ And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

'The sick,' as in Matthew 25:35, signify people who are in evil who acknowledge that in themselves there is nothing but evil.
