¹⁹ They will not be disgraced in hard times;
    even in famine they will have more than enough.

¹⁹ He rescues them from death
    and keeps them alive in times of famine.

³ The Lord will not let the godly go hungry,
    but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.

¹⁶ these are the ones who will dwell on high.
    The rocks of the mountains will be their fortress.
Food will be supplied to them,
    and they will have water in abundance.

²⁰ He will save you from death in time of famine,
    from the power of the sword in time of war.
²¹ You will be safe from slander
    and have no fear when destruction comes.
²² You will laugh at destruction and famine;
    wild animals will not terrify you.

³ But this is what the Lord says:
“I will reward your evil with evil;
    you won’t be able to pull your neck out of the noose.
You will no longer walk around proudly,
    for it will be a terrible time.”

¹³ So those who are smart keep their mouths shut,
    for it is an evil time.
