12. But a stupid man will get wisdom [only] when a wild donkey's colt is born a man [as when he thinks himself free because he is lifted up in pride].
13. If you set your heart aright and stretch out your hands to [God],
14. If you put sin out of your hand and far away from you and let not evil dwell in your tents;
15. Then can you lift up your face to Him without stain [of sin, and unashamed]; yes, you shall be steadfast and secure; you shall not fear.
16. For you shall forget your misery; you shall remember it as waters that pass away.
17. And [your] life shall be clearer than the noonday and rise above it; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
