Psalms 73:4-12

4For there are no pains in their death, And their 1body is fat.5They are 2not 3in trouble as other 4men, Nor are they 5plagued 6like mankind.6Therefore pride is 7their necklace; The 8garment of violence covers them.7Their eye 9bulges from 10fatness; The imaginations of their heart 11run riot.8They 12mock and 13wickedly speak of oppression; They 14speak from on high.9They have 15set their mouth 16against the heavens, And their tongue 17parades through the earth.

10Therefore 18his people return to this place, And waters of 19abundance are 20drunk by them.11They say, “21How does God know? And is there knowledge 22with the Most High?”12Behold, 23these are the wicked; And always 24at ease, they have increased in wealth.
