Job 5:20
18 For He wounds, but He also binds; He strikes, but His hands also heal.
19 He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.
In famine He will redeem you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
21 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and will not fear havoc when it comes.
22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the earth.
