Job 5:10–22

10  he gives drain on the earth

and sends waters on the fields;

11  he esets on high those who are lowly,

and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12  He ffrustrates the devices of the crafty,

so that their hands achieve no success.

13  He gcatches the wise in their own craftiness,

and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.

14  They meet with darkness in the daytime

and hgrope at noonday as in the night.

15  But he isaves the needy from the sword of their mouth

and from the hand of the mighty.

16  So the poor have hope,

and jinjustice shuts her mouth.

17  “Behold, kblessed is the one whom God reproves;

therefore ldespise not the discipline of the mAlmighty.

18  For he wounds, but he nbinds up;

he oshatters, but his hands heal.

19  He will pdeliver you from six troubles;

in seven no qevil4 shall touch you.

20  rIn famine he will redeem you from death,

and in war from the power of the sword.

21  You shall be shidden from the lash of the tongue,

and shall not fear destruction when it comes.

22  At destruction and famine you shall laugh,

and shall not fear tthe beasts of the earth.
