10Therefore his people turn to them and abundant waters are drained out.
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge with the Most High?”
12Take notice: these people are wicked; they are always carefree, becoming richer and richer.
13Surely it is in vain that I have guarded my heart and washed my hands in innocence.
14For all the day long I have been afflicted and disciplined every morning.
15If I had said, “I will say these things,” then I would have betrayed this generation of your children.
16Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.
17Then I went into God's sanctuary and came to understand their fate.
18Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.
19How they become a wilderness in a moment! They come to an end and are finished in awful terrors.
20They are like a dream after one wakes up; Lord, when you arise, you will think nothing of those dreams.
21For my heart was grieved, and I was deeply wounded.
22I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was like a senseless animal before you.
23Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.
24You will guide me with your advice and afterward receive me to glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth that I desire but you.
26My flesh and my heart grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart forever.
