17. “Therefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects,so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
18. For he wounds, but he also bandages;he strikes, but his hands also heal.
19. He will deliver you from six calamities;yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
20. In time of famine he will redeem you from death,and in time of war from the power of the sword.
21. You will be protected from malicious gossip,and will not be afraid of the destruction when it comes.
