Job 5:11-27
11So that 1He setsH7760 on highH4791 those who are lowlyH8217, And those who mournH6937 are liftedH7682 to safetyH3468.12He 2frustratesH6565 the plottingH4284 of the shrewdH6175, So that their handsH3027 cannotH3808 attainH6213 successH8454.13He 3capturesH3920 the wiseH2450 by their own shrewdnessH6193, And the adviceH6098 of the cunningH6617 is quicklyH4116 thwartedH4116.14By dayH3119 they 4meetH6298 with darknessH2822, And gropeH4959 at noonH6672 as in the nightH3915.15But He savesH3467 from 5the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310, And 6the poorH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.16So the helplessH1800 hasH1961 hopeH8615, And 7unrighteousnessH5767 must shutH7092 its mouthH6310.
17“BeholdH2009, how 8happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 reprovesH3198, So do not despiseH3988 the 9disciplineH4148 of 10the AlmightyH7706.18For 11He inflictsH3510 painH3510, and 12givesH2280 reliefH2280; He woundsH4272, and His handsH3027 also healH7495.1913From sixH8337 troublesH6869 14He will deliverH5337 you, Even in sevenH7651 15evilH7451 will not touchH5060 you.20In 16famineH7458 He will redeemH6299 you from deathH4194, And 17in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719.21You will be 18hiddenH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956, 19And you will not be afraidH3372 of violenceH7701 whenH3588 it comesH935.22You will 20laughH7832 at violenceH7701 and famineH3720, 21And you will not be afraidH3372 of 22wildH776 beastsH2421.23For you will be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704, And 23the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will be at peaceH7999 with you.24You will knowH3045 that your 24tentH168 is secureH7965, For you will visitH6485 your abodeH5116 and fearH2398 noH3808 lossH2398.25You will knowH3045 also that your 2526descendantsH2233 will be manyH7227, And 27your offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776.26You will 28comeH935 to the graveH6913 in fullH3624 vigorH3624, Like the stackingH5927 of grainH1430 in its seasonH6256.27BeholdH2009 thisH2088; we have investigatedH2713 it, and soH3651 it is. HearH8085 it, and knowH3045 for yourself.”
