Psalms 73:9
Compare all
7 aTheir1 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. 
10 Therefore his people return here,
aAnd waters of a full cup are drained by them. 
11 And they say, a“How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?” 
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.
13 Surely I have1 cleansed my heart in avain,
And washed my hands in innocence.
