The Silver Lining

Job 5

20 In famine he will ransom you from death,
       and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,
       and need not fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine,
       and need not fear the beasts of the earth.

23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,
       and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

24 You will know that your tent is secure;
       you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.

25 You will know that your children will be many,
       and your descendants like the grass of the earth.

26 You will come to the grave in full vigor,
       like sheaves gathered in season.
