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.
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.
24. And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.
25. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
