Job 11:13-20
The Message
Reach Out to God
13-20 “Still, if you set your heart on God
and reach out to him,
If you scrub your hands of sin
and refuse to entertain evil in your home,
You’ll be able to face the world unashamed
and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless.
You’ll forget your troubles;
they’ll be like old, faded photographs.
Your world will be washed in sunshine,
every shadow dispersed by dawn.
Full of hope, you’ll relax, confident again;
you’ll look around, sit back, and take it easy.
Expansive, without a care in the world,
you’ll be hunted out by many for your blessing.
But the wicked will see none of this.
They’re headed down a dead-end road
with nothing to look forward to—nothing.”
Job 11:13-19
New International Version
Job 11:13-19
New International Version
13 “Yet if you devote your heart(A) to him
and stretch out your hands(B) to him,(C)
14 if you put away(D) the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil(E) to dwell in your tent,(F)
15 then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;(G)
you will stand firm(H) and without fear.(I)
16 You will surely forget your trouble,(J)
recalling it only as waters gone by.(K)
17 Life will be brighter than noonday,(L)
and darkness will become like morning.(M)
18 You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest(N) in safety.(O)
19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,(P)
and many will court your favor.(Q)

Job 11:13-19
King James Version
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
