10Small wonder that people resort to them, and drink deep draughts of their lore.
11“How does God know?” they say, “And has the Most High any knowledge?”
12See! These are the godless, with wealth and ease ever increasing.
13Yes, in vain have I kept my heart pure, and washed my hands in innocence;
14for all the day long was I plagued not a morning but I was chastised.
15But to resolve to speak like they do would be treachery to your children.
16So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:
17till I entered the holy world of God and saw clearly their destiny.
18Yes, you set them on slippery places; down to destruction you hurl them.
19One moment and then what a horror of ruin! They are finished and ended in terrors.
