14 For all day long I have been plagued,And chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this,It was too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;Then I understood their end.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places;You cast them down to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes,So, Lord, when You awake,You shall despise their image.
