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 famine 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 tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. |
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. |
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. |
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. |
