King James Version (KJV)

Job 11:16

“Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:”

Verse in context — Job 11

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.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
