2 Set your heart right and be steadfast,

and do not be hasty in time of calamity.

3 Cleave to him and do not depart,

that you may be honored at the end of your life.

4 Accept whatever is brought upon you,

and in changes that humble you be patient.

5 For gold is tested in the fire,

and acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.

6 Trust in him, and he will help you;

make your ways straight, and hope in him.
