Bible verse
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
Psalm 10:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 10.
1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
