Job 11:15
13 As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14 if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
16 For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17 Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
