Job 5:18 - Adam Clarke

Job 5:18

Compare all

16 ^aSo the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.

17 “Behold,^a happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

18 ^aFor He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.

19 ^aHe shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven ^bno evil shall touch you.

20 ^aIn famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the¹ power of the sword.

21 ^aYou 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 ^ayou shall not be afraid of the ^bbeasts of the earth.
