13As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him, 14if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents, then indeed you will lift up your face without blemish; you will stand firm and unafraid. 16For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by. 17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
