Job 5:17

17 "How happy is the one whom God reproves; therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

Job 5:17 In-Context

15 But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth, from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 "How happy is the one whom God reproves; therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal.
19 He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you.
