Job 5:17-25

17“Behold, 1happy is the person whom God disciplines, So do not reject the 2discipline of 3the Almighty.18For 4He inflicts pain, and 5gives relief; He wounds, but His hands also heal.19In six troubles 6He will save you; Even in seven, 7evil will not touch you.20In 8famine He will redeem you from death, And 9in war, from the power of the sword.21You will be 10hidden 11from the scourge of the tongue, 12And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.22You will 13laugh at violence and hunger, 14And you will not be afraid of 15wild animals.23For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And 16the animals of the field will be at peace with you.24You will know that your 17tent is secure, For you will visit your home and 18have nothing missing.25You will also know that your 19 20descendants will be many, And 21your offspring as the grass of the earth.
