Job 11:13-20
English Standard Version
13 “If you (A)prepare your heart,
you will (B)stretch out your hands toward him.
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
15 Surely then you will (C)lift up your face without (D)blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
16 You will (E)forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
17 And your life will be (F)brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
18 And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and (G)take your rest in security.
19 You will (H)lie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will (I)court your favor.
20 But (J)the eyes of the wicked will fail;
all way of escape will be lost to them,
and their hope is (K)to breathe their last.”
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]
