Job 5:12-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
12He frustrates the schemes of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success. 13He captures the wise by their own cleverness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted. 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. 23For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And the animals of the field will be at peace with you.King James Version

Chapter 5
12He frustrates the schemes of the crafty so that they achieve no success. 13He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end. 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. 23For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.New Living Translation
Chapter 5
12He frustrates the plans of schemers so the work of their hands will not succeed. 13He traps the wise in their own cleverness so their cunning schemes are thwarted. 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.
23You will be at peace with the stones of the field, and its wild animals will be at peace with you.

12He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. 13He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end. 14They meet with darkness in the daytime and grope at noonday as in the night. 15But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth and from the hand of the mighty. 16So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth. 17"Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves; therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty. 18For he wounds, but he binds up; he shatters, but his hands heal. 19He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no evil shall touch you. 20 In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. 21You shall be hidden from the lash of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. 22At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the beasts of the earth. 23For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.New International Version

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.
