New Testament

Psalms 73:3-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. For I was envious at the boastful;I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4. For there are no pains in their death;their bodies are fat.

5. They are not in trouble as other people;nor are they plagued like others.

6. Therefore pride is their necklace;violence covers them as a garment.

7. Their eyes bulge with fatness;they have more than a heart could wish.

8. They mock and speak with evil oppression;they speak loftily.

9. They set their mouth against the heavens,and their tongue struts through the earth.

10. Therefore people turn to them,and abundant waters are drunk by them.

11. They say, “How does God know?And is there knowledge with the Most High?”

12. Observe, these are the wicked, always at ease;they increase in riches.

13. Surely I have kept my heart pure for nothing,and washed my hands in innocence.
