16. Though I tried to understand all this,it was too difficult for me,
17. Till I entered the sanctuary of Godand came to understand their end.
18. You set them, indeed, on a slippery road;you hurl them down to ruin.
19. How suddenly they are devastated;utterly undone by disaster!
20. They are like a dream after waking, Lord,dismissed like shadows when you arise.
21. Since my heart was embitteredand my soul deeply wounded,
22. I was stupid and could not understand;I was like a brute beast in your presence.
