Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:2 - Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:3 - Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:4 - You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:14 - If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:15 - Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:16 - For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:17 - And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:18 - And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:19 - Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:20 - But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.
