^6 (A)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.

¹⁴ With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

^3 (A)For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the ^(B)wicked.

¹² Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.

12 Righteous ^(A)are You, O Lord, when I plead with You;
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
^(B)Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?

¹³ You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?

¹⁶ Therefore ^(A)they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is ^[a]sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
