Job 5:17-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 “Behold, how (A)happy is the man whom God reproves,
So do not despise the (B)discipline of [a]the Almighty.
18 “For (C)He inflicts pain, and [b]gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.
19 “[c]From six troubles (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 the power of the sword.
21 “You will be (H)hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
(I)And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
22 “You will (J)laugh at violence and famine,
(K)And you will not be afraid of [d]wild beasts.
23 “For you will be in league 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 secure,
For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.
25 “You will know also that your [e](N)descendants will be many,
And (O)your offspring as the grass of the earth.
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.”
