Job 5:21-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden,and you shall not fear approaching ruin.

22. At ruin and want you shall laugh;the beasts of the earth, do not fear.

23. With the stones of the field shall your covenant be,and the wild beasts shall be at peace with you.

24. And you shall know that your tent is secure;taking stock of your household, you shall miss nothing.

25. You shall know that your descendants are many,and your offspring like the grass of the earth.

26. You shall approach the grave in full vigor,as a shock of grain comes in at its season.

27. See, this we have searched out; so it is!This we have heard, and you should know.
