Bible verse
Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Job 5:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 5.
13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and sweeps away the plans of the cunning.
14 They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.
15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.
16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
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.
20 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.
