12. Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13. Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14. For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
15. If I had said, “I will speak thus”; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16. When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;
17. Until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
