11. Surely he recognises deceivers;and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
12. But the witless can no more become wisethan a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.
13. ‘Yet if you devote your heart to himand stretch out your hands to him,
14. if you put away the sin that is in your handand allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15. then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;you will stand firm and without fear.
16. You will surely forget your trouble,recalling it only as waters gone by.
17. Life will be brighter than noonday,and darkness will become like morning.
18. You will be secure, because there is hope;you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
