7 Out of such blindness comes sin;evil thoughts flood their hearts.
8 They scoff and spout their malice;from on high they utter threats.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,their tongues roam the earth.
10 So my people turn to themand drink deeply of their words.
11 They say, “Does God really know?”“Does the Most High have any knowledge?”
12 Such, then, are the wicked,always carefree, increasing their wealth.
13 Is it in vain that I have kept my heart pure,washed my hands in innocence?
