Job 5:17-27 - Blessing Comes When God Corrects You
17 Blessed is the person whom God corrects. Do not despise discipline from the Almighty. 18 God inflicts wounds and he bandages. He strikes but his hands make you well. 19 He will keep you safe from six troubles, and when the seventh one comes, no harm will touch you: 20 In famine he will save you from death, and in war he will save you from the sword. 21 You will be protected from the sharp tongue and you will not be afraid when destruction comes. 22 You will laugh at destruction and starvation. You will not be afraid of wild beasts. 23 You will have a binding agreement with the stones in the field, and wild animals will be at peace with you. 24 You will know peace in your tent. You will inspect your house and find nothing missing. 25 You will find that your children are many and your descendants are like the grass of the earth. 26 You will come to your grave at a very old age like a stack of hay in its season.
27 We have studied all of this thoroughly! This is the way it is. Listen to it, and learn it for yourself.
