Job 5:17-27
Legacy Standard Bible
17 “Behold, how (A)blessed is the man whom God reproves,
So do not reject the (B)discipline of the [a]Almighty.
18 For (C)He inflicts pain and [b]gives relief;
He [c]wounds, and His hands also heal.
19 [d]From six distresses (D)He will deliver you,
Even in seven (E)evil will not touch you.
20 In (F)famine He will redeem you from death,
And (G)in war from hands with swords.
21 You will be (H)hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
(I)And you will not be afraid of devastation when it comes.
22 You will (J)laugh at devastation and starvation,
(K)And you will not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For your covenant will be with the stones of the field,
And (L)the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
24 You will know that your (M)tent is at peace,
For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.
25 You will know also that your (N)seed will be many,
And (O)your offspring as the vegetation of the land.
26 You will (P)come to the grave in full vigor,
Like the stacking of grain in its season.
27 Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Job 5:17-27
Revised Standard Version
17 “Behold, happy is the man whom God reproves;
therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he binds up;
he smites, but his hands heal.
19 He will deliver you from six troubles;
in seven there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is safe,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your descendants shall be many,
and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in ripe old age,
as a shock of grain comes up to the threshing floor in its season.
27 Lo, this we have searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[a]
