17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he bruises, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in covenant with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
