Bible verse
For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
Job 11:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 11.
12 But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
13 As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14 if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
15 then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
16 For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17 Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
18 You will be secure, because there is hope, and you will look around and lie down in safety.
19 You will lie down without fear, and many will court your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”
