Scripture focus

13. If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; 14. If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. 15. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: 16. Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away: 17. And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. 18. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety. 19. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. 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.

Commentary on Job 11:13

Theological / Devotional

If thou. The “thou” is emphatic in the Hebrew. Prepare thine heart. Zophar here begins his appeal by calling upon Job to repent. In doing so he uses an argument similar to that of Eliphaz (Job 5:17-27).
