Job 11 — Context

14

If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

15

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

16

Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:

17

And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

18

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

19

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

20

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
