Job 5:24
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.
You will know that your tent is secure, and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.
25 You will know that your offspring will be many, your descendants like the grass of the earth.
26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
