Job 11:7-17 New Century Version (NCV)

7. “Can you understand the secrets of God?Can you search the limits of the Almighty?

8. His limits are higher than the heavens; you cannot reach them!They are deeper than the grave; you cannot understand them!

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

10. “If God comes along and puts you in prisonor calls you into court, no one can stop him.

11. God knows who is evil,and when he sees evil, he takes note of it.

12. A fool cannot become wiseany more than a wild donkey can be born tame.

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

14. Put away the sin that is in your hand;let no evil remain in your tent.

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

16. You will forget your troubleand remember it only as water gone by.

17. Your life will be as bright as the noonday sun,and darkness will seem like morning.
