Job 5:17-27 - Blessing Comes When God Corrects You
17 "Indeed, how blessed is the person whom God reproves! So never disrespect the discipline of the Almighty, 18 because though he wounds, but then applies bandages; though he strikes, his hands still heal. 19 "He will deliver you through six calamities; and calamity won't touch you throughout the seventh. 20 He will deliver you from death by famine; in war from the power of the sword. 21 You'll be protected from the accusing tongue; you need not fear destruction when it heads your way. 22 You'll laugh at destruction and famine; and you need not fear the beasts of the earth. 23 For you'll have a pact with the stones in the field; and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. 24 You'll know that your home is secure; when you search your possessions, and nothing will be missing. 25 You'll know that you'll have many children; and that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth. 26 You'll go to your grave at a ripe old age; like a stack of grain that's harvested at just the right time.
27 "Look! We have thought all this through, and what we've said is true; So please listen and learn for your own good!"
