“Let my enemy be like the wicked,
    and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
    though he may gain much, when God takes away his soul?
Will God hear his cry
    when trouble comes upon him?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
    Will he always call upon God?

11 “I will teach you about the hand of God;
    what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Look, all of you have seen it;
    why then have you become altogether vain?

and why in the world[c] have you become altogether vain?[d]
