22. You will laugh at destruction and famineand need not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23. For you will have a pact with the stones of the field,and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
24. And you will know that your home will be secure,and when you inspect your domains, you will not be missing anything.

26. You will come to your grave in a full age,As stacks of grain are harvested in their season.
