13 Seizing the wise in their craftiness, So that their cunning counsel is carried headlong.
14 By day they encounter darkness, And as in the night, they grope at noon.
15 He saves the deserted from their mouth And the needy from the hand of the unyielding.
16 Hence there comes to be expectation for the poor, And iniquity, it shuts its mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the mortal whom Eloah corrects; Thus you must not reject the admonition of Him Who Suffices.
18 For He Himself causes pain, and He shall bind up; He stabs, and His hands, they shall heal.
19 In six distresses He shall rescue you, And in seven, evil shall not touch you.
20 In famine, He will ransom you from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword.
21 From scourge of tongue shall you be hidden, And you shall not fear devastation when it comes.
22 Devastation and starvation shall you ridicule, And you shall certainly not fear the wild animal of the earth.
23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the wild animal of the field will be at peace with you.
24 You will know that your tent lies in peace, And you will check over your homestead and shall not miss anything.
25 You will know also that your seed will be abundant, And your offspring like the herbage of the earth.
26 You shall come to the tomb in mature age, Like a shock of grain that ascends in its season.
