12 Those proud people are wicked, but they are rich and getting richer.
13 Clearly, then, I gain nothing by keeping my thoughts pure! What good is it to keep myself from sin?
14 God, I suffer all day long, and you punish me every morning.
15 I wanted to tell others these things, but that would have made me a traitor to your people.
16 I tried hard to understand all this, but it was too hard for me.
17 But then, God, I went to your Temple, and I understood what will happen to the wicked.
18 Clearly, you have put them in danger. You make it easy for them to fall and be destroyed.
