New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The Providence of God

¹⁴One who seeks God^[a] will accept his discipline,
    and those who rise early to seek him^[b] will find favour.
¹⁵One who seeks the law will be filled with it,
    but the hypocrite will stumble at it.
¹⁶Those who fear the Lord will form true judgements,
    and they will kindle righteous deeds like a light.
