Job 11:7-20

American Standard Version

^7 [a]Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
^8 [b]It is high as heaven; what canst thou do?
Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?
⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth,
And broader than the sea.
¹⁰ If he pass through, and shut up,
And ^[c]all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?
¹¹ For he knoweth false men:
He seeth iniquity also, ^[d]even though he consider it not.
^12 [e]But vain man is void of understanding,
Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.

¹³ If thou set thy heart aright,
And stretch out thy hands toward him;
¹⁴ If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away,
And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
¹⁵ Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;
Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
¹⁶ For thou shalt forget thy misery;
Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,
¹⁷ And thy life shall ^[f]be clearer than the noonday;
Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
¹⁸ And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and 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.
²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
And ^[g]they shall have no way to flee;
And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
