Job 11:13-20
Lexham English Bible
13 “If you yourself[a] direct your heart
and stretch out your hands to him—
14 if iniquity[b] is in your hand, put it far away,
and you must not let wickedness reside in your tents—
15 surely then you will lift up your face without[c] blemish,
and you will be firmly established and will not fear.[d]
16 For you yourself[e] will forget your misery;
you will remember it as water that has flowed past.
17 “And your life will be brighter than noon;[f]
its darkness will be like the morning.
18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;
and you will be well protected—you will sleep in safety.[g]
19 And you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;[h]
and many will entreat your favor.[i]
20 But[j] the eyes of the wicked will fail;
and refuge will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last breath.”[k]

International Standard Version
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]
