Job 11:6-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. And tell you the secrets of wisdom,for good sense has two sides;So you might learn that Godoverlooks some of your sinfulness.

7. Can you find out the depths of God?or find out the perfection of the Almighty?

8. It is higher than the heavens; what can you do?It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know?

9. It is longer than the earth in measure,and broader than the sea.

10. If he should seize and imprisonor call to judgment, who then could turn him back?

11. For he knows the worthlessand sees iniquity; will he then ignore it?

12. An empty head will gain understanding,when a colt of a wild jackass is born human.

13. If you set your heart arightand stretch out your hands toward him,

14. If iniquity is in your hand, remove it,and do not let injustice dwell in your tent,

15. Surely then you may lift up your face in innocence;you may stand firm and unafraid.

16. For then you shall forget your misery,like water that has ebbed away you shall regard it.

17. Then your life shall be brighter than the noonday;its gloom shall become like the morning,

18. And you shall be secure, because there is hope;you shall look round you and lie down in safety;

19. you shall lie down and no one will disturb you.Many shall entreat your favor,
