Job 11:16 For you will forget [your] misery; / You will remember [it] as waters that have passed away.
Job 11:17 And [your] time [here] will rise more [brightly] than the noonday; / Dark though it may be, it will be like the morning.
Job 11:18 And you will be secure, for there is hope; / And you will search about [and] lie down in security.
Job 11:19 Indeed you will lie down, and there will be none to terrify [you;] / And many will entreat your favor.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, / And fleeing will be lost to them, / And their hope will be to breathe out [their] life.
