17. “Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves;therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.
18. For he wounds, but he binds up;he shatters, but his hands heal.
19. He will deliver you from six troubles;in seven no evil shall touch you.
20. In famine he will redeem you from death,and in war from the power of the sword.
21. You shall be hidden from the lash of the tongue,and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22. At destruction and famine you shall laugh,and shall not fear the beasts of the earth.
