Psalm 73:11-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. And they say, “How can God know?Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

12. Behold, these are the wicked;always at ease, they increase in riches.

13. All in vain have I kept my heart cleanand washed my hands in innocence.

14. For all the day long I have been strickenand rebuked every morning.

15. If I had said, “I will speak thus,”I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

16. But when I thought how to understand this,it seemed to me a wearisome task,

17. until I went into the sanctuary of God;then I discerned their end.
