Psalm 73:3-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 For I was envious of the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(A)
4 For they have no pain;
their bodies are sound and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not plagued like other people.(B)
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
violence covers them like a garment.(C)
7 Their eyes swell out with fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.(D)
8 They scoff and speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.(E)
9 They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues range over the earth.
10 Therefore the people turn and praise them[a]
and find no fault in them.[b]
11 And they say, “How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”(F)
12 Such are the wicked;
always at ease, they increase in riches.(G)

Job 21:7-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Why do the wicked live on,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?(A)
8 Their children are established in their presence
and their offspring before their eyes.(B)
9 Their houses are safe from fear,
and no rod of God is upon them.(C)
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and never miscarries.(D)
11 They send out their little ones like a flock,
and their children dance around.
12 They sing to the tambourine and the lyre
and rejoice to the sound of the pipe.(E)
13 They spend their days in prosperity,
and in peace they go down to Sheol.(F)
14 They say to God, ‘Leave us alone!
We do not desire to know your ways.(G)
15 What is the Almighty,[a] that we should serve him?
And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’(H)
