Job 5:27
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.
Indeed, we have investigated, and it is true! So hear it and know for yourself.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
