4. Because there is no restraint that would bring about their death, but their strength is firm.
5. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

8. They are lawless and speak wickedly of doing violence; they speak loftily.
9. They set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue walks through the earth.
