15If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
16When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.
18Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.
19How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
21For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:
22So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.
24Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
