Job 5:10-22

10He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside. 11The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. 12He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. 13He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. 14Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. 15He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. 16So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth. 17“Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. 18For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. 19From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you. 20In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. 21You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. 22You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals.
