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

³ Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, But he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.

²⁰ In famine he will redeem you from death; In war, from the power of the sword.

²¹ You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, Neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

²² At destruction and famine you shall laugh, Neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.

¹² For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish 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 falls suddenly on them.

¹⁶ He shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.

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

³ Therefore thus says Yahweh: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, From which you will not remove your necks, Neither will you walk haughtily; For it is an evil time.

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
