3For I was envious of the proud, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4For they have no pains even to their death; Their bodies are in full health.
5They have not the woes of other men, Neither are they smitten like other men.
6Therefore pride encircleth their neck as a collar; Violence covereth them as a garment.
7From their bosom issueth their iniquity; The designs of their hearts burst forth.
8They mock, and speak of malicious oppression; Their words are haughty;
9They stretch forth their mouth to the heavens, And their tongue goeth through the earth;
