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.
