3 I saw that wicked people were successful, and I became jealous of those proud people.
4 They are healthy. They don’t have to struggle to survive.
5 They don’t suffer like the rest of us. They don’t have troubles like other people.
6 So they are proud and hateful. This is as easy to see as the jewels and fancy clothes they wear.
7 If they see something they like, they go and take it. They do whatever they want.
8 They make fun of others and say cruel things about them. In their pride they make plans to hurt people.
9 They think they are gods! They think they are the rulers of the earth.
