And again he says Blessed is the man whom the Lord did reprove; and reject not thou the admonition of the Almighty, for he maketh to suffer pain and again he restoreth;

he wounded, and his hands healed.

Six times shall he deliver thee from troubles, and the seventh time evil shall not touch thee.

In famine he shall rescue thee from death, and in war he shall free thee from the hand of the sword.
