17. “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects;Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18. For He bruises, but He binds up;He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19. He shall deliver you in six troubles,Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
20. In famine He shall redeem you from death,And in war from the power of the sword.
21. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22. You shall laugh at destruction and famine,And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23. For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
