16 So those who are poor have hope. And God shuts the mouths of people who don't treat others fairly.
17 "Blessed is the person God corrects. So don't hate the Mighty One's training.
18 He wounds. But he also bandages up those he wounds. He harms. But his hands also heal those he harms.
19 From six troubles he will save you. Even if you are in trouble seven times, no harm will come to you.
20 When there isn't enough food, God will keep you from dying. When you go into battle, he won't let a sword strike you down.
21 He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you. You won't need to be afraid when everything is being destroyed.
22 You will laugh when things are being destroyed. You will enjoy life even when there isn't enough food. You won't be afraid of wild animals.
