Job 11:13-20

Modern English Version

¹³ “If you prepare your heart
    and stretch out your hands toward Him;
¹⁴ if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
    and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
¹⁵ for then you will lift up your face without blemish;
    yes, you will be steadfast and will not fear,
¹⁶ because you will forget misery,
    and remember it as waters that pass away,
¹⁷ and your life will be brighter than noonday,
    even your darkness will be as the morning.
¹⁸ You will trust because there is hope;
    yes, you will search about you,
    and you will look around and rest in safety.
¹⁹ Also you will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
    yes, many will court your favor.
²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
    and they will not escape,
    and their hope will be as the giving up of breath.”
