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.
21 Thus my heart was grieved,And I was vexed in my mind.
22 I was so foolish and ignorant;I was like a beast before You.
