16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
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 dearth thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
