Context of Job 11:19
17Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning. 18Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely. You would lie down and none would disturb you, And many would entreat your favor. 20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And there will be no escape for them; And their hope is to breathe their last.”
