4. As for me, is my complaint against a man?Then why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5. Look at me and shudder; put your hand over your mouth.
6. When I think about it, I am terrifiedand my body trembles in horror.
7. Why do the wicked continue to live,growing old and becoming powerful?
8. Their children are established while they are still alive, and their descendants, before their eyes.
9. Their homes are secure and free of fear; no rod from God strikes them.
10. Their bulls breed without fail;their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11. They let their little ones run around like lambs;their children skip about,
12. singing to the tambourine and lyreand rejoicing at the sound of the flute.
