7 (A)Why do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their (B)offspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
9 Their houses are (C)safe from fear,
and (D)no rod of God is upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and (E)does not miscarry.
11 They send out their (F)little boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12 They sing to (G)the tambourine and (H)the lyre
and rejoice to the sound of (I)the pipe.
13 They (J)spend their days in prosperity,
and in (K)peace they go down to (L)Sheol.
14 They say to God, (M)‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.

And what (O)profit do we get if we pray to him?’

like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 (D)He[a] brings all of them up (E)with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16 (F)Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,[b]
and his food is rich.
17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net

He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (D)until he knew that the (E)Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son,[a] (F)Belshazzar, (G)have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against (H)the Lord of heaven. And (I)the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. (J)And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, (K)but the God in whose hand is your breath, and (L)whose are all your ways, (M)you have not honored.
24 “Then from his presence (N)the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered[b] the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, (O)you have been weighed[c] in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to (P)the Medes and (Q)Persians.”[d]
