11 For ^aHe knows deceitful men;
He sees wickedness also.
Will He not then consider it? ‡

12 For an ^aempty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man. ‡

14 If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And ^awould not let wickedness dwell in your tents; ‡

15 ^aThen surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear; ‡
