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.
20Like a dream, when one wakes, shall they be, whose phantoms the waker despises.
21So my bitterness of mind and the pain that stabbed my heart
22show how dull I was and stupid just like a beast before you.
23But I am always with you, you have hold of my right hand.
