7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?(A)
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.(B)
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;(C)
the rod of God is not on them.(D)
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.(E)
11 They send forth their children as a flock;(F)
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;(G)
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.(H)
13 They spend their years in prosperity(I)
and go down to the grave(J) in peace.[a](K)
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!(L)
We have no desire to know your ways.(M)
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’(N)

when I bring a case(B) before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:(C)
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?(D)

but far from their hearts.(G)

A Common Destiny for All
9 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them.(A) 2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.
As it is with the good,
so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.(B)
