6. Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright.
7. Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.
8. Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.
9. Their houses [are] peace without fear, Nor [is] a rod of God upon them.
10. His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.
11. They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,
12. They lift [themselves] up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.
13. They wear out in good their days, And in a moment [to] Sheol go down.
14. And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
15. What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'
16. Lo, not in their hand [is] their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
17. How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
