14. If you would send away from you the iniquity that is in your hand, and not let injustice remain in your tabernacle,
15. then you would be able to lift up your face without blemish, and you would be steadfast and unafraid.
16. Misery, likewise, you would forget, or would remember only like waters that have passed by.
17. And brightness, like that of midday, will rise upon you until evening, and when you would think yourself consumed, you will rise up like the morning star.
18. And, when hope has been set before you, you will have faith, and, when buried, you will sleep secure.
19. You will rest, and there will be nothing to make you afraid, and many will make requests before your face.
20. But the eyes of the impious will fade away, and the path to escape will perish before them, for the abomination of the soul is their hope.
