Job 11:13-20
Legacy Standard Bible
13 “(A)If you would (B)set your heart right
And (C)spread out your hand to Him,
14 If wickedness is in your hand, (D)put it far away,
And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents;
15 Then, indeed, you could (E)lift up your face without moral defect,
And you would be steadfast and (F)not fear.
16 For you would (G)forget your trouble,
As (H)waters that pass by, so you would remember it.
17 And your lifetime would (I)arise brighter than noonday;
Darkness would be like the morning.
18 Then you would trust, because there is hope;
And you would search around and rest securely.
19 You would (J)lie down and none would make you tremble,
And many would (K)entreat your [a]favor.
20 But the (L)eyes of the wicked will come to an end,
And escape will (M)perish from them;
And their (N)hope is (O)the expiring of their soul.”

Zophar Counsels Job to Repent
13 “Now for you, if you will prepare your heart,
spread out your hands to him.
14 If you have any iniquity, throw it far away.
Don’t let evil[a] live in your residence.[b]
15 Then your confidence will be flawless,
and your security will keep you from terror.
16 You’ll forget your suffering;
you’ll remember it like water that has evaporated.[c]
17 Your life will be brighter than noonday.
Even its darkness will be like dawn.
18 You’ll be secure, because there is hope;
you’ll see that you’re at rest and safe.
19 When you sleep, there’ll be nothing to fear;
and many will court your favor.[d]
20 But what the wicked look for will fail;
their way of escape will be taken away[e] from them;
their only hope is to take their final breath.”[f]
