Psalms 73:3-12
3 a For I was b envious of the arrogantwhen I saw the c prosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not d stricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is e their necklace;
violence covers them as f a garment.
7 Their g eyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and h speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find i no fault in them. ▼
▼
Probable reading; Hebrew the waters of a full cup are drained by them
11 And they say k “How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they l increase in riches.
