9 They brag to the sky.They say that they own the earth.
10 So their people turn to themand give them whatever they want.
11 They say, “How can God know?What does God Most High know?”
12 These people are wicked,always at ease, and getting richer.
13 So why have I kept my heart pure?Why have I kept my hands from doing wrong?
14 I have suffered all day long;I have been punished every morning.
15 God, if I had decided to talk like this,I would have let your people down.
