Job 11:18

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.

You will be secure, because there is hope, and you will look around and lie down in safety.

19 You will lie down without fear, and many will court your favor.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
