Context of Psalms 73:5

3For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. 6Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. 7Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot.
