“Behold, how ^(A)happy is the man whom God reproves,
So do not despise the ^(B)discipline of ^(a)the Almighty.

“For ^(C)He inflicts pain, and ^(b)gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.

“^(c)From six troubles ^(D)He will deliver you,
Even in seven ^(E)evil will not touch you.

“In ^(F)famine He will redeem you from death,
And ^(G)in war from the power of the sword.

^{Tools

“You will be ^(H)hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
^(I)And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.

^{Tools

“You will ^(J)laugh at violence and famine,
^(K)And you will not be afraid of ^(d)wild beasts.

^{Tools

“For you will be in league with the stones of the field,
And ^(L)the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.

“You will know that your ^(M)tent is secure,
For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.

“You will know also that your ^(e)^(N)descendants will be many,
And ^(O)your offspring as the grass of the earth.

“You will ^(P)come to the grave in full vigor,
Like the stacking of grain in its season.

“Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
