Job 11:13-20
Christian Standard Bible
13 As for you, if you redirect your heart
and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14 if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,
and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15 then you will hold your head high, free from fault.
You will be firmly established and unafraid.(A)
16 For you will forget your suffering,
recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
17 Your life will be brighter than noonday;
its darkness[a] will be like the morning.(B)
18 You will be confident, because there is hope.(C)
You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.(D)
19 You will lie down with no one to frighten you,
and many will seek your favor.(E)
20 But the sight of the wicked(F) will fail.
Their way of escape will be cut off,
and their only hope is their last breath.(G)
