SCRIPTURE

"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah." — Psalms 112:7 (ASV)

The story of Job, when the messengers of ill succeeded one another so fast, is an illustration of the truth of this verse. “A good conscience before God” is the best “armour against fate.”

“Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.”—
Shakespeare: Measure for Measure.
