Bible in Basic English
"How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction."
— Psalms 73:19, Bible in Basic English
“How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. ”
When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;
Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.
You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.
How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.
As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.
My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief:
As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.
