2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
