Take Thy Rest

^{Job 11:7-20}

 CANST THOU BY SEARCHING FIND OUT GOD? 

CANST THOU FIND OUT THE ALMIGHTY UNTO PERFECTION?

IT IS AS HIGH AS HEAVEN; WHAT CANST THOU DO? 

DEEPER THAN HELL; WHAT CANST THOU KNOW?

 

 THE MEASURE THEREOF IS LONGER THAN THE EARTH, 

AND BROADER THAN THE SEA. 

 IF HE CUT OFF, AND SHUT UP, OR 

GATHER TOGETHER,

 THEN WHO CAN HINDER HIM?

 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

For vain men would be wise, 

THOUGH MAN BE BORN LIKE A WILD ASS'S COLT. 

 IF THOU PREPARE THINE HEART, 

AND STRETCH OUT THINE HANDS TOWARD HIM;

 If iniquity be in thine hand, PUT IT FAR AWAY, and let NOT wickedness 

DWELL IN THY TABERNACLES.

 For then shalt thou

 LIFT UP THY FACE WITHOUT SPOT,

yea, thou shalt 

BE STEDFAST, 

and 

SHALT NOT FEAR:

 BECAUSE THOU SHALT FORGET THY MISERY, 

AND REMEMBER IT AS WATERS THAT PASS AWAY.

AND

 THINE AGE 

 SHALL BE CLEARER THAN THE NOONDAY:

 THOU SHALT SHINE FORTH, 

THOU SHALT BE AS THE MORNING.

 AND THOU SHALT BE SECURE,

 BECAUSE THERE IS HOPE; 

YEA, THOU SHALT DIG ABOUT THEE, 

AND THOU SHALT

 TAKE THY REST 

IN SAFETY.

 ALSO THOU SHALT LIE DOWN, 

AND NONE SHALL MAKE THEE AFRAID; 

YEA, MANY SHALL MAKE SUIT UNTO THEE. 

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.
