NSB(i)
3 I was envious of arrogant people when I saw the peace and prosperity that wicked people enjoy.
4 They suffer no pain. Their bodies are healthy.
5 They have no drudgery in their lives like ordinary people. They are not plagued with problems like mankind.
6 That is why arrogance is their necklace and violence covers them like clothing.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness, and their heart’s imagination run wild.
8 They ridicule. They speak maliciously. They speak arrogantly about oppression.
9 They set their mouth in the heavens and their tongue parades through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here and here they drink waters of abundance.
11 They ask: How does God know? And is there knowledge with the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly. They prosper in the world; they increase in wealth.
13 I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
