Job 11:13-20

New King James Version

¹³ “If you would ^(A)prepare your heart,
And ^(B)stretch out your hands toward Him;
¹⁴ If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And ^(C)would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
^15 (D)Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
¹⁶ Because you would ^(E)forget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,
¹⁷ And your life ^(F)would be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
¹⁸ And you would be secure, because there is hope;
Yes, you would dig around you, and ^(G)take your rest in safety.
¹⁹ You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.
²⁰ But ^(H)the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And ^(I)their hope—^[a]loss of life!”
