Job 5:17 - 5:27


17
“Behold, how blessed is the man whom God reproves,
So do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
18
For He inflicts pain and gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.
19
From six distresses He will deliver you,
Even in seven evil will not touch you.
20
In famine He will redeem you from death,
And in war from hands with swords.
21
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you will not be afraid of devastation when it comes.
22
You will laugh at devastation and starvation,
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 the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
24
You will know that your tent is at peace,
For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.
25
You will know also that your seed will be many,
And your offspring as the vegetation of the land.
26
You will 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.”
