Job 5:17-27 - Blessing Comes When God Corrects You

¹⁷ See how happy the man is God corrects;
so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
¹⁸ For He crushes but also binds up;
He strikes, but His hands also heal.
¹⁹ He will rescue you from six calamities;
no harm will touch you in seven.
²⁰ In famine He will redeem you from death,
and in battle, from the power of the sword.
²¹ You will be safe from slander
and not fear destruction when it comes.
²² You will laugh at destruction and hunger
and not fear the animals of the earth.
²³ For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
²⁴ You will know that your tent is secure,
and nothing will be missing when you inspect your home.
²⁵ You will also know that your offspring will be many
and your descendants like the grass of the earth.
²⁶ You will approach the grave in full vigor,
as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.

²⁷ We have investigated this, and it is true!
Hear it and understand it for yourself.
