What a Promise with a Bonus

He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
Job 5:19
 
I have wondered what this verse meant by 6 troubles and then when I it says "in seven"? Well I looked it up in my Bible Commentary and I was very glad I did.
 
It says:
"An expression found also in Ugaritic poetry. These numbers should not be taken literally. Six means many- seven means more." Is that not the neatest things!

So -
 He shall deliver you in many troubles, Yes, in more no evil shall touch you.
 
That really encourages me, and I bet it is encouraging to you as well.
Have a blessed day :O)
