Psalms 73:3-17

³For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴For there are no deadly fetters for them, but their strength is firm.

⁵They share not in the trouble of mortals, and with men are they not afflicted.

⁶Therefore is pride their neck-chain: violence envelopeth them as a garment.

⁷Their eyes start out from fatness: they have exceeded their heart's imaginings.

⁸They scorn, and speak wickedly of oppression: loftily do they speak.

⁹They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth.

¹⁰Therefore do his people turn away hither: and waters of a full cup are drained by them.

¹¹And they say, How should God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹²Behold, these are the wicked; and yet prospering continually they increase in wealth.

¹³Verily in vain have I thus cleansed my heart, and have washed in innocency my hands:

¹⁴While I was afflicted all the day, and my chastisement came every morning.

¹⁵But if I were to say, I will speak thus: behold, I would be treacherous against the generation of thy children.

¹⁶And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes;

¹⁷Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be.
