10. If God puts you in prisonor drags you to court,what can you do?
11. God has the wisdom to knowwhen someone is worthlessand sinful,
12. but it's easier to tamea wild donkeythan to make a fool wise.
13. Surrender your heart to God,turn to him in prayer,
14. and give up your sins—even those you do in secret.
15. Then you won't be ashamed;you will be confidentand fearless.
16. Your troubles will go awaylike water beneath a bridge,
17. and your darkest nightwill be brighter than midday.
18. You will rest safe and secure,filled with hopeand emptied of worry.
19. You will sleep without fearand be greatly respected.
20. But those who are evilwill go blind and lose their way.Their only escape is death!
