13 Surely I have
1 cleansed my heart
in avain,
And washed my hands in innocence.
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
was1 too painful for me—
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their
aend.
18 Surely
aYou 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.
