12 A stupid person becomes intelligentwhen a wild ass of a person is born tame.
13 If you make your mind resoluteand spread your palms to him,
14 if you throw out the sin in your handsand don’t let injustice dwell in your tents,
15 then you will lift up your face without blemish;you will be secure and not fear.
16 You will forget trouble;you will remember it as water that flows past.
17 A life span will rise brighter than noon;darkness will be like morning.
18 You will be secure, for there is hope;you will look around and rest safely.
