If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.Job 11:14 · King James Version
Job 11:14 in context
12For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
13If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
