VI] :And in war from the power of the sword.
 * Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:
 * Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
 * At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:
 * Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
 * For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field:
 * And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
 * And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace;
 * And thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
 * Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,
 * And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
 * Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
 * Like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
 * Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
 * Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

Job answered and said,


 * that my grief were throughly weighed,
 * And my calamity laid in the balances together!
 * For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:
 * Therefore my words are swallowed up.
