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.
18. Surely you set them in slippery places.You throw them down to destruction.
