Context of Psalms 73:5
3When I saw that wicked people had plenty of things, I was jealous of those proud people. 4Their bodies are fat and strong, and they feel no pain in their lives. They do not have trouble like other people. They seem to have no problems. 6Their pride is like their necklace. They like to be cruel, as they like to wear clothes. 7Their greedy eyes lead them into sin. Their minds think of evil things to do.
