Job 11:13-20
Christian Standard Bible
13 As for you, if you redirect your heart
and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14 if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,
and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15 then you will hold your head high, free from fault.
You will be firmly established and unafraid.(A)
16 For you will forget your suffering,
recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
17 Your life will be brighter than noonday;
its darkness[a] will be like the morning.(B)
18 You will be confident, because there is hope.(C)
You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.(D)
19 You will lie down with no one to frighten you,
and many will seek your favor.(E)
20 But the sight of the wicked(F) will fail.
Their way of escape will be cut off,
and their only hope is their last breath.(G)

Job 11:13-20
Lexham English Bible
13 “If you yourself[a] direct your heart
and stretch out your hands to him—
14 if iniquity[b] is in your hand, put it far away,
and you must not let wickedness reside in your tents—
15 surely then you will lift up your face without[c] blemish,
and you will be firmly established and will not fear.[d]
16 For you yourself[e] will forget your misery;
you will remember it as water that has flowed past.
17 “And your life will be brighter than noon;[f]
its darkness will be like the morning.
18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;
and you will be well protected—you will sleep in safety.[g]
19 And you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;[h]
and many will entreat your favor.[i]
20 But[j] the eyes of the wicked will fail;
and refuge will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last breath.”[k]
