13 “If you would prepare your heart,
And stretch out your hands toward Him; 14 If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents; 15 Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear; 16 Because you would forget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away, 17 And your life 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 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 the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And their hope—loss of life!” (Job 11:13-20, New King James Version)
