3 Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants;the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.
4 The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks,“God won’t hold me accountable; he doesn’t care.”
5 He is secure at all times.He has no regard for your commands;he disdains all his enemies.
6 He says to himself,“I will never be upended,because I experience no calamity.”
7 His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words;his tongue injures and destroys.
8 He waits in ambush near the villages;in hidden places he kills the innocent.His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.
9 He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket;he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed;he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.
