Job 5:11-27

11He setsH7760 the lowlyH8217 on highH4791, so that mournersH6937 are liftedH7682 to safetyH3468.12He thwartsH6565 the schemesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 findH6213 noH3808 successH8454.13He catchesH3920 the wiseH2450 in their craftinessH6191,1 and sweeps awayH4116 the plansH6098 of the cunningH6617.14They encounterH6298 darknessH2822 by dayH3119 and gropeH4959 at noonH6672 as in the nightH3915.15He savesH3467 the needyH34 from the swordH2719 in their mouthH6310 and from the clutchesH3027 of the powerfulH2389.16So the poorH1800 haveH1961 hopeH8615, and injusticeH5766 shutsH7092 its mouthH6310.

17BlessedH835 indeedH2009 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctsH3198;so do notH408 despiseH3988 the disciplineH4148 of the AlmightyH7706.218ForH3588 HeH1931 woundsH3510, but He also bindsH2280;He strikesH4272, but His handsH3027 also healH7495.19He will rescueH5337 you from sixH8337 calamitiesH6869;noH3808 harmH7451 will touchH5060 you in sevenH7651.20In famineH7458 He will redeem youH6299 from deathH4194,and in battleH4421 from the strokeH3027 of the swordH2719.21You will be hiddenH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956,and will notH3808 fearH3372 havocH7701 whenH3588 it comesH935.22You will laughH7832 at destructionH7701 and famineH3720,and need notH408 fearH3372 the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.23ForH3588 you will have a covenantH1285 withH5973 the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704,and the wildH7704 animalsH2416 will be at peaceH7999 with you.24You will knowH3045 thatH3588 your tentH168 is secureH7965,and find nothingH3808 amissH2398 when inspectingH6485 your homeH5116.25You will knowH3045 thatH3588 your offspringH2233 will be manyH7227,your descendantsH6631 like the grassH6212 of the earthH776.26You will comeH935 toH413 the graveH6913 in full vigorH3624,like a sheaf of grainH1430 gatheredH5927 in seasonH6256.

27IndeedH2009, we have investigatedH2713 H2063, and itH1931 is trueH3651!So hear itH8085 andH859 knowH3045 for yourself.”
