Psalms 73:2-12

2But my feet had almost stumbled. They had almost slipped

3because I was envious of arrogant people when I saw the prosperity that wicked people enjoy.

4They suffer no pain. Their bodies are healthy.

5They have no drudgery in their lives like ordinary people. They are not plagued ⌞with problems⌟ like others.

6That is why they wear arrogance like a necklace and acts of violence like clothing.

7Their eyes peer out from their fat faces, and their imaginations run wild.

8They ridicule. They speak maliciously. They speak arrogantly about oppression.

9They verbally attack heaven, and they order people around on earth.

10That is why God’s people turn to wickedness and swallow their words.

11Then wicked people ask, “What does God know?” “Does the Most High know anything?”

12Look how wicked they are! They never have a worry. They grow more and more wealthy.
