13. It seems as if I have kept my heart pure without any reason. It didn't do me any good to wash my hands to show that I wasn't guilty of doing anything wrong.
14. Day after day I've been in pain. God has punished me every morning.
15. What if I had said, "I will speak as evil people do"? Then I wouldn't have been faithful to God's children.
16. I tried to understand it all. But it was more than I could handle.
17. It troubled me until I entered God's temple. Then I understood what will happen to bad people in the end.
