The Providence of God

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