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.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 “If you direct your heart rightly,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.(A)
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and do not let wickedness reside in your tents.(B)
15 Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.(C)
16 You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.(D)
17 And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.(E)
18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;
you will be protected[a] and take your rest in safety.(F)
19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;
many will entreat your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;
all way of escape will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last.”(G)
