²⁰ When there isn’t enough food, God will keep you from dying.
    When you go into battle, he won’t let a sword strike you down.
²¹ He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you.
    You won’t need to be afraid
    when everything is being destroyed.
²² You will laugh when things are being destroyed.
    You will enjoy life even when there isn’t enough food.
    You won’t be afraid of wild animals.
