Context of Job 11:19
17And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning. 18And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety. You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; Yes, many would court your favor. 20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope—loss of life!”
