Psalm 73:6-12
English Standard Version
6 Therefore pride is (A)their necklace;
violence covers them as (B)a garment.
7 Their (C)eyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and (D)speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find (E)no fault in them.[a]
11 And they say, (F)“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they (G)increase in riches.

King James Version
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
