Job 5:17-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 “How happy is the one whom God reproves;
therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.[a](A)
18 For he wounds, but he binds up;
he strikes, but his hands heal.(B)
19 He will deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no harm shall touch you.(C)
20 In famine he will redeem you from death
and in war from the power of the sword.(D)
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.(E)
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh
and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.(F)
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.(G)
24 You shall know that your tent is safe;
you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.(H)
25 You shall know that your descendants will be many
and your offspring like the grass of the earth.(I)
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.(J)
27 See, we have searched this out; it is true.
Hear, and know it 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]
