17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 for he maketh sore, and bindeth up:he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles:yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death:and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field:and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
