10. If he cuts off, or shuts up, or gathers together, then who can hinder him?
11. For he knows the vain men; and he sees the iniquity; will he not then understand it?
12. The vain man shall make himself understood, though man is born like a wild ass’s colt.
13. If thou would prepare thine heart and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14. if there is any iniquity in thy hand and thou dost put it far away and dost not consent that wickedness dwell in thy habitations,
15. then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; thou shalt be strongly established and shalt not fear;
16. and thou shalt forget thy misery and remember it as waters that passed away;
17. and thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18. And thou shalt trust because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig and sleep in safety;
19. thou shalt lie down, and no one shall make thee afraid; and many shall make requests unto thee.
20. But the eyes of the wicked shall consume themselves, and they shall have no refuge, and their hope shall be agony of the soul.
