For I was (A)envious of the boastful,
I saw the (B)peace of the wicked.
For there are no pains in their death,
And their [a]body is fat.
They are (C)not [b]in trouble as other [c]men,
And they are not (D)stricken along with the rest of mankind.
Therefore lofty pride is (E)their necklace;
The (F)garment of violence covers them.
Their eye [d]bulges from (G)fatness;
The delusions of their heart overflow.
They (H)scoff and [e]wickedly speak of oppression;
They (I)speak from on high.
They have (J)set their mouth [f]against the heavens,
And their tongue goes through the earth.

10 Therefore [g]his people return here, to his place,
And waters of (K)fullness are [h]drunk by them.
11 They say, “(L)How does God know?
And is there knowledge with the Most High?”
