He will rescue you
This phrase emphasizes God's active role as a deliverer. The Hebrew root for "rescue" is "נָצַל" (natsal), which conveys the idea of snatching away or delivering from danger. Throughout the Bible, God is portrayed as a savior who intervenes in the lives of His people, providing protection and deliverance. This assurance of divine rescue is a recurring theme, reflecting God's covenantal faithfulness and His commitment to His people.

from six calamities
The number "six" in Hebrew thought often symbolizes incompleteness or imperfection, as opposed to the number seven, which signifies completeness. The use of "six calamities" suggests a series of trials or adversities that are not yet complete. Historically, the people of Israel faced numerous challenges, from slavery in Egypt to exile in Babylon. This phrase reassures believers that God is present through every trial, no matter how numerous or severe.

no harm will touch you
The promise of protection is profound here. The Hebrew word for "harm" is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which can mean evil, distress, or adversity. The assurance that "no harm will touch you" speaks to God's sovereign power to shield His people from ultimate destruction. This does not imply a life free from suffering but rather a divine protection that ensures the believer's ultimate well-being and spiritual safety.

in seven
The number "seven" is significant in biblical literature, often representing completeness or perfection. It is seen in the seven days of creation, the sevenfold Spirit of God, and the seven churches in Revelation. The phrase "in seven" suggests that even when trials reach their full measure, God's protection remains steadfast. This reflects the belief that God's plans are perfect and complete, and His protection is all-encompassing.

(19) In six troubles.--The special form of speech here used is characteristic mainly of the Proverbs (see Job 6:16; Job 30:15; Job 30:18; Job 30:21). Since evil was emphatically touching Job, the actual irony of these words must have been bitter indeed.

Verse 19. - He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven (comp. Amos 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 13, "For three transgressions... and for four"). An idiomatic way of expressing an indefinite number. There shall no evil touch thee; i.e. no real evil, nothing calculated to do thee real hurt. All affliction is "for the present grievous;" but if it "afterward yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them that are exercised thereby" (Hebrews 12:11), it does not do us harm, but good.
