Job 5:11-27

11To set on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be exalted to safety. 12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.1 13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. 14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noon as in the night.2 15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

17Behold, happyis the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: 18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.3 21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.4 22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.56 25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thy offspring as the grass of the earth.7 26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.8 27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is ; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.9
