Job 11:7-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. “Can you understand the secrets of God?Can you search the limits of the God All-Powerful?

8. God’s limits are higher than the heavens. You cannot reach them!They are deeper than where the dead are. You cannot know them!

9. His limits are longer than the earthand wider than the sea.

10. “God might come along and put you in prison.If he calls you into court, no one can stop him.

11. God knows which men are evil.And when he sees evil, he notices it.

12. A stupid person cannot become wise.That is as impossible as a wild donkey being born tame.

13. “You must give your whole heart to him.You must hold out your hands to him for help.

14. Put away the sin that is in your hand.Let no evil live in your tent.

15. Then you can lift up your face without shame.You can stand strong without fear.

16. You will forget your trouble.You will remember your troubles only as water that has passed by.
