Job 11:12-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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,
14
If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away,
And do not let malice dwell in your tents;
15
Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without
moral
blemish,
And you would be firmly established and not fear.
16
For you would forget
your
trouble;
Like waters that have passed by, you would remember
it.
17
Your life would be 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 flatter you.
King James Version
Chapter 11
12
For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
12
But a stupid person will gain understanding
as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!
13
As for you, if you redirect your heart
and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14
if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,
and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15
then you will hold your head high, free from fault.
You will be firmly established and unafraid.
16
For you will forget your suffering,
recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
17
Your life will be brighter than noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
18
You will be confident, because there is hope.
You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.
19
You will lie down with no one to frighten you,
and many will seek your favor.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
12
An 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!
14
Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.
15
Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
16
You will forget your misery;
it will be like water flowing away.
17
Your life will be brighter than the noonday.
Even darkness will be as bright as morning.
18
Having hope will give you courage.
You will be protected and will rest in safety.
19
You will lie down unafraid,
and many will look to you for help.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
12
But 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.
14
If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
15
Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
16
You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
17
And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
18
And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and take your rest in security.
19
You will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will court your favor.
New International Version
Chapter 11
12
But 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,
14
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15
then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;
you will stand firm and without fear.
16
You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
17
Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
18
You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
19
You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,
and many will court your favor.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
12
For an empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.
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.
