For there are no pains in their death,
And their belly is fat.
They are (A)not [a]in trouble like other people,
Nor are they (B)tormented together with the rest of mankind.
Therefore arrogance is (C)their necklace;
The (D)garment of violence covers them.
Their eye [b]bulges from (E)fatness;
The imaginations of their heart overflow.
They (F)mock and [c]wickedly speak of oppression;
They (G)speak from on high.
They have (H)set their mouth [d]against the heavens,
And their tongue [e]parades through the earth.
