who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number, who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields, so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety.

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night. But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty. So a poor man has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth. Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise thou the chastening of the Almighty. For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, 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 shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue. Neither shall thou be afraid of destruction when it comes. At destruction and dearth thou shall laugh, nor shall thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shall know that thy tent is in peace, and thou shall visit thy fold, and shall miss nothing. Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed. Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction that he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man. He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. He also is chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones, so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food. His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers. If there be with him a [heavenly] agent, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him, then [God] is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth. He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness. He sings before men, and says, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me. He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light. Lo, all these things God works twice, [yea] thrice, with a man, to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
