Seven Things from Job

He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

Job 5:19
  1. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
  2. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
  3. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
  4. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
  5. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
  6. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
  7. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

These seven things are found in Job 5:20-26. Eliphaz the Temanite shared this with Job. Although he misdiagnosed Job’s problem, his words still ring true.

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

Job 5:27
