Job 11:18–20

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.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,

and escape will elude them;

their hope will become a dying gasp.”

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.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;

all way of escape will be lost to them,

and their hope is to breathe their last.”

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.

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,

And they shall not escape,

And their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

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.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,

And they shall not escape,

And their hope—loss of life!”

18 You will feel safe because there is hope;

you will look around and rest in safety.

19 You will lie down, and no one will scare you.

Many people will want favors from you.

20 But the wicked will not be able to see,

so they will not escape.

Their only hope will be to die.”

18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;

Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and 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.

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,

And they shall have no way to flee;

And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

18 And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about thee, thou shalt take rest in safety. 19 Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour. 20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and all refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope shall be the breathing out of life.

18 You will feel confident because there’s hope, 

and you will look around and rest in safety. 

19 You will lie down with no one to frighten you, 

and many people will try to gain your favor. 

20 But the wicked will lose their eyesight. 

Their escape route will be closed. 

Their only hope is to take their last breath.” 

18 You will be confident, because there is hope.

You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.

19 You will lie down without fear,

and many will seek your favor.

20 But the sight of the wicked will fail.

Their way of escape will be cut off,

and their only hope is their last breath.

18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;

you will be protected and take your rest in safety.

19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;

many will entreat your favor.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;

all way of escape will be lost to them,

and their hope is to breathe their last.”

18 And you will have confidence because there is hope;

and you will be well protected—you will sleep in safety.

19 And you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;

and many will entreat your favor.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;

and refuge will be lost to them,

and their hope is to breathe their last breath.”

18 You will be secure, because there is hope.

You will look around you and find a safe place to rest.

19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.

Many people will want you to show them your favor.

20 But sinful people won’t find what they are looking for.

They won’t be able to escape.

All they can hope for is to die.”

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 favor.

20 “But the eyes of the wicked will fail,

And there will be no escape for them;

And their hope is to breathe their last.”
