Job 11:11-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
11For He knows false people, And He sees injustice without investigating. 12 An idiot will become intelligent When a wild donkey is born a human. 13'If you would direct your heart rightly And spread out your hands to Him, 14If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let malice dwell in your tents; 15Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral blemish, And you would be firmly established and not fear. 16For you would forget your trouble; Like waters that have passed by, you would remember it. 17Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
11Surely he knows which people are worthless. If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?
12But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!
13As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it, and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15then you will hold your head high, free from fault. You will be firmly established and unafraid.
16For you will forget your suffering, recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
11For he knows those who are false, and he takes note of all their sins. 12An empty-headed person won’t become wise any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.
13'If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!
14Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you.
15Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear.
16You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away.
17Your life will be brighter than the noonday. Even darkness will be as bright as morning.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
11For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it? 12But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey 's colt is born a man! 13"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him. 14If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. 15Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear. 16You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away. 17And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.New International Version
12But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.
13"Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,
14if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear.
16You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
