Job 11:13-20
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)

Job 11:13-20
New Living Translation
13 “If only you would prepare your heart
and lift up your hands to him in prayer!
14 Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.
15 Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
16 You will forget your misery;
it will be like water flowing away.
17 Your life will be brighter than the noonday.
Even darkness will be as bright as morning.
18 Having hope will give you courage.
You will be protected and will rest in safety.
19 You will lie down unafraid,
and many will look to you for help.
20 But the wicked will be blinded.
They will have no escape.
Their only hope is death.”
