"You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.  Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like the morning.  You will be secure, because there is hope; you    will look about you and take rest in safety.  You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.  But the eyes of the wicked will fail,and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."   Job 11:16-20
