14 if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
14 If you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home,
14 If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
14 Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you.
19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit
19 You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
19 Expansive, without a care in the world, you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing.
19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; Yes, many would court your favor.
19 You will lie down unafraid, and many will look to you for help.
(Read Job 11:13-20)
Zophar exhorts Job to repentance, and gives him encouragement, yet mixed with hard thoughts of him. He thought that worldly prosperity was always the lot of the righteous, and that Job was to be deemed a hypocrite unless his prosperity was restored. Then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; that is, thou mayst come boldly to the throne of grace, and not with the terror and amazement expressed in Hebrews 10:22.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."
20 But the wicked will see none of this. They're headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to - nothing."
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
20 But the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope is death."
