16 When this I thought to understand, It was too [high and] hard for me:
17 Till to God's holy place I went, Then I their [later] end did see.
18 Surely it is a slippery place In which these [worldly] men are set, From whence thy hand doth cast them down [At last] into destruction great.
19 How in a moment suddenly To [utter] ruin brought are they, And with just terrors utterly [From earth] they are consumed away.
19 How in a moment suddenly To [utter] ruine brought are they, And with just terrors utterly [From earth] they are consum'd away.
