3 aFor I
was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the
bwicked.
4 For
there are no
1 pangs in their death,
But their strength
is firm.
5 aThey
are not in trouble
as other men,
Nor are they plagued like
other men.
6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them
alike a garment.
7 aTheir
1 eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish.
8 aThey scoff and speak wickedly
concerning oppression;
They
bspeak loftily.
9 They set their mouth
aagainst the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth.
