Iyov 5:14-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. They meet with choshech in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the lailah,

15. But He saveth the needy from the cherev of their mouth, and from the yad chazak.

16. So the poor hath tikveh, and olatah (perversity, wickedness) stoppeth her mouth.

17. Hinei, ashrei is the enosh whom Eloah correcteth; therefore despise not thou the musar (chastening) of Shaddai;

18. For He woundeth, and bindeth up; He injureth, and His yadayim (hands) heal.

19. He shall deliver thee in shesh tzoros; yea, in shivah there shall no rah touch thee.

20. In ra'av (famine) He shall redeem thee from mavet; and in milchamah from the power of the cherev.

21. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the leshon, neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the chayyat ha'aretz.

23. For thou shalt be in league with the avanim of the sadeh, and the chayyat sadeh shall be hashelemah (at peace) with thee.

24. And thou shalt know that shalom shall be thy ohel; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and find nothing wanting.

25. Thou shalt know also that thy zera shall be rav, and thine offspring as the esev ha'aretz.

26. Thou shalt come to thy kever in a ripe age, like a shock of grain cometh in its season.
