Job 5:17-27

American Standard Version

¹⁷ Behold, happy is the man whom God ^[a]correcteth:
Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
¹⁸ For he maketh sore, and bindeth up;
He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
¹⁹ He will deliver thee in six troubles;
Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
²⁰ In famine he will redeem thee from death;
And in war from the power of the sword.
²¹ Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
²² At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
²³ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
²⁴ And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace;
And thou shalt visit thy ^[b]fold, and ^[c]shalt miss nothing.
²⁵ Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,
And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
²⁶ Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.
²⁷ Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
Hear it, and know thou it ^[d]for thy good.
