Job 5:10-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 He gives rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;(A)
11 he sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.(B)
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(C)
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and grope at noonday as in the night.(D)
15 But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth,
from the hand of the mighty.(E)
16 So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(F)
17 “How happy is the one whom God reproves;
therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.[a](G)
18 For he wounds, but he binds up;
he strikes, but his hands heal.(H)
19 He will deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no harm shall touch you.(I)
20 In famine he will redeem you from death
and in war from the power of the sword.(J)
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.(K)
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh
and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.(L)
