They have no struggles;
    their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
They are free(A) from common human burdens;
    they are not plagued by human ills.
Therefore pride(B) is their necklace;(C)
    they clothe themselves with violence.(D)
From their callous hearts(E) comes iniquity[b];
    their evil imaginations have no limits.
They scoff, and speak with malice;(F)
    with arrogance(G) they threaten oppression.(H)
Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
    and their tongues take possession of the earth.
