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.
