11. For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.
12. But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.
13. If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;
14. If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
15. Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16. For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,
17. And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
18. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.
19. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
