Job 11:12 in context

10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

12For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.

14If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
