Job 5:17-27

Look, happy is the person whom God corrects; so don’t reject the Almighty’s instruction. He injures, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal. From six adversities he will deliver you; from seven harm won’t touch you. In famine he will ransom you from death; in war, from the power of the sword. You will be hidden from the tongue’s sting, and you won’t fear destruction when it comes. You will laugh at destruction and hunger; you won’t be afraid of wild beasts; for you will make an agreement with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. You will know that your tent is secure. You will examine your home and miss nothing. You will know that you’ll have many children. Your offspring will be like the grass of the earth. You will come to your grave in old age as bundles of grain stacked up at harvesttime. Look, we’ve searched this out, and so it is; listen and find out for yourself.
