Context of Job 5:24
22In times of danger and famine, you will be brave. You will not be afraid of wild animals. 23The stones in your fields will not give you trouble. The wild animals will not attack you. You will know that your home is strong and safe. When you check all your land, you will see that all your animals are safe. 25You will know that your children will be very many. You will have as many descendants as the grass that grows in the ground. 26You will not die until you are old. You will grow with strength until you die, like crops that grow until the time of harvest.
