Psalm 73:18-20
Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin. How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors! Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
It is so easy to forget that the Evil One packages the most grievous sin, the vilest and most heinous offense as the sweetest and most beautiful morsel, beckoning and alluring. And as a fish rising to the fly, I do not see the thin, gossamer leader that leads to death.
