In famine he will redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword.Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
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.
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.
