13 I concluded, “Surely in vain I have kept my motives pureand maintained a pure lifestyle.
14 I suffer all day long,and am punished every morning.”
15 If I had publicized these thoughts,I would have betrayed your loyal followers.
16 When I tried to make sense of this,it was troubling to me.

18 Surely you put them in slippery places;you bring them down to ruin.
19 How desolate they become in a mere moment!Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!
