18:005:013 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
18:005:014 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
18:005:015 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
18:005:016 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
18:005:017 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18:005:018 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
18:005:019 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
18:005:020 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
18:005:021 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
18:005:022 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
