He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.You will laugh at destruction and famine, neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.For you will be allied with the stones of the field. The animals of the field will be at peace with you.You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.You will know also that your offspring will be great, Your offspring as the grass of the earth.You will come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.Look at this. We have searched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good.”

I give tithes of all that I get.’But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
