Job 5:15-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. Yet he rescues the orphan from the sword of their mouth,the needy from the grip of the strong;

16. so the poor have hopeand violence shuts its mouth.

17. Look, happy is the person whom God corrects;so don’t reject the Almighty’s instruction.

18. He injures, but he binds up;he strikes, but his hands heal.

19. From six adversities he will deliver you;from seven harm won’t touch you.

20. In famine he will ransom you from death;in war, from the power of the sword.

21. You will be hidden from the tongue’s sting,and you won’t fear destruction when it comes.
