THE MESSAGE

Job 11

7-12 "Do you think you can explain the mystery of God?
    Do you think you can diagram God Almighty?
God is far higher than you can imagine,
    far deeper than you can comprehend,
Stretching farther than earth's horizons,
    far wider than the endless ocean.
If he happens along, throws you in jail
    then hauls you into court, can you do anything about it?
He sees through vain pretensions,
    spots evil a long way off—
    no one pulls the wool over his eyes!
Hollow men, hollow women, will wise up
    about the same time mules learn to talk.13-20 "Still, if you set your heart on God
    and reach out to him,
If you scrub your hands of sin
    and refuse to entertain evil in your home,
You'll be able to face the world unashamed
    and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless.
You'll forget your troubles;
    they'll be like old, faded photographs.
Your world will be washed in sunshine,
    every shadow dispersed by dayspring.
Full of hope, you'll relax, confident again;
    you'll look around, sit back, and take it easy.
Expansive, without a care in the world,
    you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing.
But the wicked will see none of this.
    They're headed down a dead-end road
    with nothing to look forward to—nothing."
