The Book of Job, Chapter 5, Verse 27

Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

King James Version

Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and know thou [it] for thy good.

American Standard Version

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

New English Translation

Look, we have investigated this, so it is true. Hear it, and apply it for your own good.”

World English Bible

Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."

But Job answered and said,

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg?

The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful meat.

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
