Job 11:18 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 11:18

Compare all

16 Because you would ^aforget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,

17 And your life ^awould 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 ^atake your rest in safety.

19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.

20 But ^athe eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And ^btheir hope—loss of life!”
