7 “Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power? Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power? Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
8 Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes. Their offspring are established in their presence, and their descendants before their eyes. They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them. Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them.
10 Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry. Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry. Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11 They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance. They send out their little boys like a flock, and their children dance. They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe. They sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe. They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre; they make merry to the sound of the pipe.
13 They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol. They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol. They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.
