Job 11

⁷ “Can you discover the depths of God?
Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?
⁸ “They are high as ^[d]the heavens, what can you do?
Deeper than ^[e]Sheol, what can you know?
⁹ “Its measure is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
¹⁰ “If He passes by or shuts up,
Or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him?
¹¹ “For He knows false men,
And He sees iniquity ^[f]without investigating.
¹² “^[g]An idiot will become intelligent
When the ^[h]foal of a wild donkey is born a man.

¹³ “If you would direct your heart right
And spread out your hand to Him,
¹⁴ If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
And do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
¹⁵ “Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect,
And you would be steadfast and not fear.
¹⁶ “For you would forget your trouble,
As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.
¹⁷ “Your ^[i]life would be ^[j]brighter than noonday;
Darkness would be like the morning.
¹⁸ “Then you would trust, because there is hope;
And you would look around and rest securely.
¹⁹ “You would lie down and none would disturb you,
And many would entreat your ^[k]favor.
²⁰ “But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And ^[l]there will be no escape for them;
And their hope is ^[m]to breathe their last.”
