Psalms 73:13
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
