Job 5:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 5:19

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.

23 ^aFor you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.

25 You shall also know that ^ayour descendants shall be many,
And your offspring ^blike the grass of the earth.

26 ^aYou shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.

27 Behold, this we have ^asearched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
