Luck

Down on one’s luck. Short of cash and credit. “Not in luck’s way,” not unexpectedly promoted, enriched, or otherwise benefited.

Give a man luck and throw him into the sea. Meaning that his luck will save him even in the greatest extremity. Referring to Jonah and Ariʹon, who were cast into the sea, but carried safely to land, the one by a whale and the other by a dolphin.
