Job 5:14-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
14By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night. 15But He saves from the sword of their mouth, And the poor from the hand of the strong. 16So the helpless has hope, And injustice has shut its mouth. 17'Behold, happy is the person whom God disciplines, So do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. 18For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, but His hands also heal. 19In six troubles He will save you; Even in seven, evil will not touch you. 20In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war, from the power of the sword. 21You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes. 22You will laugh at violence and hunger, And you will not be afraid of wild animals.King James Version
Chapter 5
14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. 15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

Chapter 5
14They encounter darkness by day, and they grope at noon as if it were night. 15He saves the needy from their sharp words and from the clutches of the powerful. 16So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth. 17See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. 18For he wounds but he also bandages; he strikes, but his hands also heal. 19He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven. 20In famine he will redeem you from death, and in battle, from the power of the sword. 21You will be safe from slander and not fear destruction when it comes. 22You will laugh at destruction and hunger and not fear the land's wild creatures.New Living Translation
Chapter 5
14They find it is dark in the daytime, and they grope at noon as if it were night. 15He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong, and rescues them from the clutches of the powerful. 16And so at last the poor have hope, and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.
17'But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin.
18For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal.
19From six disasters he will rescue you; even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.
20He will save you from death in time of famine, from the power of the sword in time of war.
21You will be safe from slander and have no fear when destruction comes.
22You will laugh at destruction and famine; wild animals will not terrify you.

Chapter 5
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.
17Blessed 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.
