But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

His children are far from safety,
And they are crushed in the gate,

And taketh it even out of the thorns;
And the snare gapeth for their substance.

He frustrateth the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

They meet with darkness in the day-time,
And grope at noonday as in the night.

Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

So the poor hath hope,
And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up;
He woundeth, and his hands make whole.

He will deliver thee in six troubles;
Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

In famine he will redeem thee from death;
And in war from the power of the sword.

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.

And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
