SCRIPTURE
Job Bi17-2A

Job 5i17-2A
DEHOLD. happy is the man whom
D God correcteth: therefore desplse
not thou the Christening OF the Al
mighty.
For he maketh sore. and bindeth
up; he woundeth. and his hands make
whole.
He shall deliver thee in six trou-
bles: yea. In seven there shall no evil
touch thee.
In famine he shall redeem thee
from death; and in war from the
power OF the sword.
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge
OF the tongue: neither shalt thou be
afraid Of destruction when It cometh.
At destruction and famine thou
shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be
afraid Of the beasts OF the earth.
For thou shalt be IN league with
the stones Of the field: and the beasts
Of the field shall be at peace with
thee.
And thou shalt know that thy tab
ernacle shall be in peace; and thou
shalt visit thy habitation. and shalt
not sin.
