14 De dia eles se encontram com as trevas, e ao meio-dia andam apalpando como de noite.

15 Porém livra ao necessitado da espada de suas bocas, e da mão do violento.

17 Eis que bem-aventurado é o homem a quem Deus corrige; portanto não rejeites o castigo do Todo-Poderoso.

18 Pois ele faz a chaga, mas também põe o curativo; ele fere, mas suas mãos curam.
