16 I tried to understand it all. But it was more than I could handle.
17 It troubled me until I entered God's temple. Then I understood what will happen to bad people in the end.
18 God, I'm sure you will make them slip and fall. You will throw them down and destroy them.
19 It will happen very suddenly. A terrible death will take them away completely.
20 A dream goes away when a person wakes up. Lord, it will be like that when you rise up. It will be as if those people were only a dream.
21 At one time my heart was sad and my spirit was bitter.
22 I didn't have any sense. I didn't know anything. I acted like a wild animal toward you.
