Psalms 73:17
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
