Proverbic distillation:
For the Christian, all misery is temporary.
For the non-Christian, all pleasure is temporary.
More poetically:
The sorrows of the godly are fleeting,
As are the pleasures of the wicked.

Conclusion: Take heart, or fear — as appropriate.
"Now, if you have your hearts broken up by the Law, you will find the heart is more deceitful than the devil. I can say this myself, I am very much afraid of mine, it is so bad. The heart is like a dark cellar, full of lizards, cockroaches, beetles, and all kinds of reptiles and insects, which in the dark we see not, but the Law takes down the shutters and lets in the light, and so we see the evil. Thus sin becoming apparent by the Law, it is written the Law makes the offense to abound." - Charles Spurgeon -
“God's grace cannot faithfully be preached to unbelievers until the Law is preached and man's corrupt nature is exposed. It is impossible for a person to fully realize his need for God's grace until he sees how terribly he has failed the standards of God's Law." - John MacArthur -
