Job 5:20–22

20 In famine he will deliver you from death,

and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,

and need not fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine,

and need not fear the wild animals.

20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death:

And in war from the power of the sword.

21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:

Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:

Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

20 He will save you from death in time of famine,

from the power of the sword in time of war.

21 You will be safe from slander

and have no fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine;

wild animals will not terrify you.

20 In famine He shall redeem you from death,

And in war from the power of the sword.

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

And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,

And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

20 God will buy you back from death in times of hunger,

and in battle he will save you from the sword.

21 You will be protected from the tongue that strikes like a whip,

and you will not be afraid when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and hunger,

and you will not fear the wild animals,

20 In famine he will redeem thee from death;

And in war from the power of the sword.

21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;

Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

22 At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;

Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

20 In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword. 21 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid.

20 “In famine he will save you from death, 

and in war he will save you from the sword. 

21 “When the tongue lashes out, you will be safe, 

and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes. 

22 “You will be able to laugh at destruction and starvation, 

so do not be afraid of wild animals on the earth. 

20 In famine He will redeem you from death,

and in battle, from the power of the sword.

21 You will be safe from slander

and not fear destruction when it comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and hunger

and not fear the animals of the earth.

20 In famine he will redeem you from death

and in war from the power of the sword.

21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue

and shall not fear destruction when it comes.

22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh

and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.

20 In famine he will redeem you from death,

and in war from the power of the sword.

21 From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden,

and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,

and you shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.

20 When there isn’t enough food, God will keep you from dying.

When you go into battle, he won’t let a sword strike you down.

21 He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you.

You won’t need to be afraid

when everything is being destroyed.

22 You will laugh when things are being destroyed.

You will enjoy life even when there isn’t enough food.

You won’t be afraid of wild animals.

20 “In famine He will redeem you from death,

And in war from the power of the sword.

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

And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.

22 “You will laugh at violence and famine,

And you will not be afraid of wild beasts.
