Context of Job 11:19
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. 18You will be confident, because there is hope. You will look carefully about and lie down in safety. You will lie down with no one to frighten you, and many will seek your favor. 20But the sight of the wicked will fail. Their way of escape will be cut off, and their only hope is their last breath.
