Bible verse
When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
Psalm 73:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 73.
12 Behold, these are the wicked—always carefree as they increase their wealth.
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
17 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!
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
