14. For all the day long I am plagued,and chastened every morning.
15. If I said, “I will speak thus,”I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
16. When I thought to understand this,it was troublesome in my eyes,
17. until I went into the sanctuary of God;then I understood their end.
18. Surely You have set them in slippery places;You have brought them down to ruin.
19. How they come to desolation, as in a moment!They have come to an end, utterly consumed with terrors.
20. As a dream when one awakes,so, O Lord, when You awake,You will despise their form.
