Job 5:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 For even though he wounds, he also binds up;
he smites, but his hands also heal.
19 He will deliver you from trouble six times,
and on the seventh[a] no evil will touch you.
20 In time of famine he will rescue you from death,
and in wartime from the thrust of the sword.
