3. For I had kina (envy) of the holelim (arrogant ones), when I saw the shalom of the resha'im.
4. For there are no chartzubot (fetters, bonds, pains) in their mot; healthy is their belly.
5. They are not in amal (trouble) as enosh; neither are they plagued like adam.
6. Therefore ga'avah encircleth them like a chain necklace; chamas enwraps them like a garment.
7. Their eyes bulge with chelev; they have more than levav could imagine.
8. They mock, and speak wickedly concerning oshek (oppression); they speak from marom (on high).
9. They set their mouth against Shomayim, and their leshon stalketh in ha'aretz.
10. Therefore their people return here; and mayim to the full are swallowed down by them.
11. And they say, How doth El (G-d) know? And is there knowledge in Elyon?
12. Hinei, these are the resha'im; at ease olam, they increase in riches.
13. Surely in vain have I cleansed my lev, and washed my hands in innocency.
