17 Look, happy is the person whom God corrects;so don’t reject the Almighty’s instruction.
18 He injures, but he binds up;he strikes, but his hands heal.
19 From six adversities he will deliver you;from seven harm won’t touch you.
20 In famine he will ransom you from death;in war, from the power of the sword.
21 You will be hidden from the tongue’s sting,and you won’t fear destruction when it comes.
22 You will laugh at destruction and hunger;you won’t be afraid of wild beasts;
23 for you will make an agreement with the stones of the field;and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
