Job

Job 5:19–26

¹⁹He will rescue you from six calamities;

no harm will touch you in seven.

²⁰In famine He will redeem you from death,

and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

²¹You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,

and will not fear havoc when it comes.

²²You will laugh at destruction and famine,

and need not fear the beasts of the earth.

²³For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,

and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

²⁴You will know that your tent is secure,

and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.

²⁵You will know that your offspring will be many,

your descendants like the grass of the earth.

²⁶You will come to the grave in full vigor,

like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
