Job 11:13-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ “If you want to set your heart right,
then pray to him.
¹⁴ If you’re holding on to sin, put it far away,
and don’t let injustice live in your tent.
¹⁵ Then you will be able to show your face without being ashamed,
and you will be secure and unafraid.
¹⁶ ⌞Then⌟ you will forget your misery
and remember it like water that has flowed downstream.
¹⁷ Then your life will be brighter than the noonday sun.
The darkness in your life will become like morning.
¹⁸ You will feel confident because there’s hope,
and you will look around and rest in safety.
¹⁹ You will lie down with no one to frighten you,
and many people will try to gain your favor.
²⁰ But the wicked will lose their eyesight.
Their escape route will be closed.
Their only hope is to take their last breath.”
