2 When those evil ones seehow God has saved his people,they will tremble with fearand be completely amazed.
3 They will groan and sayto each other,“We should have turned from sin!
4 We were fools to sneerat those people,but we thought they were foolswho had died in disgrace.
5 Why are they God's children?Why are they his holy people?
6 “So we were the oneswho turned from truthand rejected the lightfrom those good people.
7 We refused to follow the Lord!Instead we were lawlessand followed a desert roadthat led us to destruction.
8 All of our pride and wealthhas proved to be useless.
