Job 5:17-27

17“Therefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

18For he wounds, but he also bandages; he strikes, but his hands also heal.

19He will deliver you from six calamities; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.

20In time of famine he will redeem you from death, and in time of war from the power of the sword.

21You will be protected from malicious gossip, and will not be afraid of the destruction when it comes.

22You will laugh at destruction and famine and need not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

23For you will have a pact with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

24And you will know that your home will be secure, and when you inspect your domains, you will not be missing anything.

25You will also know that your children will be numerous, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.

26You will come to your grave in a full age, As stacks of grain are harvested in their season.

27Look, we have investigated this, so it is true. Hear it, and apply it for your own good.”
