5They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; Violence covereth them as a garment.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: They speak loftily.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the most High?
12Behold, these are the ungodly, Who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocency.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.
15If I say, I will speak thus; Behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16When I thought to know this, It was too painful for me;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then understood I their end.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: Thou castedst them down into destruction.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh; So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
