16. So the poor people have hope.And those who are unfair are silenced.
17. “The person whom God corrects is happy.So do not hate being corrected by God All-Powerful.
18. God hurts, but he also bandages up.He injures, but his hands also heal.
19. He will save you from six troubles.Even seven troubles will not harm you.
20. God will buy you back from death in times of hunger.And in battle he will save you from death by the sword.
21. You will be hidden from the tongue that hits like a whip.You will not need to be afraid when destruction comes.
22. You will laugh at destruction and hunger.You do not need to fear the wild animals.
23. This is because you will have an agreement with the animals born in the wild.And the wild animals will be at peace with you.
24. You will know that your tent is safe.You will check the things you own and find nothing missing.
25. You will know that you will have many children.Your descendants will be as many as the blades of grass on the earth.
26. You will come to the grave with all your strength.You will be like bundles of grain gathered at the right time.
27. “We have checked this, and it is true.So hear it and decide what it means to you.”
