The verses around it, from Psalm 73.
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”

13 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.
16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight

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!
