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.
