ISV(i)
3 For I was envious of the proud when I observed the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there is no struggle at their deaths, and their bodies are healthy.
5 They do not experience problems common to ordinary people; they aren’t afflicted as others are.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace and violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge from obesity and the imaginations of their mind cross the border into sin.
8 In their mockery they speak evil; from their arrogant position they speak oppression.
9 They choose to speak against heaven; while they talk about things on earth.
10 Therefore God’s people return there and drink it all in like water until they’re satiated.
11 Then they say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
12 Just look at these wicked people! They’re perpetually carefree as they increase their wealth.
13 I kept my heart pure for nothing and kept my hands clean from guilt.
14 For I suffer all day long and I am punished every morning.
