¹⁹ They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

³ Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

²⁰ In famine he will redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword.

²¹ Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

²² At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

¹² For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

¹⁶ He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given `him'; his waters shall be sure.

¹³ Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.

³ Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
