12. But a witless man will gain understanding when a wild donkey’s colt is born a human being?
13. “If you devote your heart to Him and spread out your hands to Him,
14. if you put away the wickedness that is in your hand, and allow no iniquity to abide in your tent,
15. then you will lift up your face without reproach; you will stand firm and without fear.
16. You will forget your trouble; you will remember it like water that has flowed away.
17. Life will be brighter than noonday; darkness like the morning.
18. You will be confident, because there is hope; you will look about you and lie down in safety.
19. You will lie down with no one to make you afraid, many will seek your favor.
20. But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their only hope is their dying breath.”
