Job 5:17-27

Job 5:17-27 NCV

“The one whom God corrects is happy, so do not hate being corrected by the Almighty. God hurts, but he also bandages up; he injures, but his hands also heal. He will save you from six troubles; even seven troubles will not harm you. God will buy you back from death in times of hunger, and in battle he will save you from the sword. You will be protected from the tongue that strikes like a whip, and you will not be afraid when destruction comes. You will laugh at destruction and hunger, and you will not fear the wild animals, because you will have an agreement with the stones in the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. You will know that your tent is safe, because you will check the things you own and find nothing missing. You will know that you will have many children, and your descendants will be like the grass on the earth. You will come to the grave with all your strength, like bundles of grain gathered at the right time. “We have checked this, and it is true, so hear it and decide what it means to you.”
