Bible verse
How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
Psalm 73:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 73.
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.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
