Psalms 73:3-12 ▼

3 For I was envious of those boasting when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no pangs until their death, and their body is fat.

5 They are not in the trouble of mankind, and with men they are not are they plagued.

6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence is a covering for them.

7 Their eye has bulged out from fat, the imaginations of their heart overflow.

8 They scoff and speak with malice; from a high place they speak oppression.

9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.

10 Therefore his people turn here, and waters of fullness are wrung out for them.

11 And they say, “How can God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”

12 Behold, these are the wicked, and at ease always, they have increased in wealth.
