Job 11:13-20

Contemporary English Version

¹³ Surrender your heart to God,
    turn to him in prayer,
¹⁴ and give up your sins—
    even those you do in secret.
¹⁵ Then you won't be ashamed;
you will be confident
    and fearless.
¹⁶ Your troubles will go away
    like water beneath a bridge,
¹⁷ and your darkest night
    will be brighter than noon.
¹⁸ You will rest safe and secure,
filled with hope
    and emptied of worry.
¹⁹ You will sleep without fear
    and be greatly respected.
²⁰ But those who are evil
will go blind and lose their way.
    Their only escape is death!
