Job 5:17-27

World English Bible

¹⁷ “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects.
    Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
¹⁸ For he wounds and binds up.
    He injures and his hands make whole.
¹⁹ He will deliver you in six troubles;
    yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
²⁰ In famine he will redeem you from death;
    in war, from the power of the sword.
²¹ You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
    neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
²² You will laugh at destruction and famine,
    neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
²³ For you will be allied with the stones of the field.
    The animals of the field will be at peace with you.
²⁴ You will know that your tent is in peace.
    You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.
²⁵ You will know also that your offspring^[a] will be great,
    Your offspring as the grass of the earth.
²⁶ You will come to your grave in a full age,
    like a shock of grain comes in its season.
²⁷ Look at this. We have searched it. It is so.
    Hear it, and know it for your good.”
