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.”
