Explanation:

"When the gods bring on the hard times" can also be read as "when things get tough". This excerpt talks about how people have to deal with bad times by themselves sometimes. If no help from the gods come, it doesn't mean they should give up. Instead, they should bear it and move through all the adversities with a heart of steel.
