17 “Behold, (A)happy is the person whom God disciplines,
So do not reject the (B)discipline of [a]the Almighty.
18 For (C)He inflicts pain, and [b]gives relief;
He wounds, but His hands also heal.
19 In six troubles (D)He will save you;
Even in seven, (E)evil will not touch you.
20 In (F)famine He will redeem you from death,
And (G)in war, from the power of the sword.
21 You will be (H)hidden [c]from the scourge of the tongue,
(I)And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
