3 For I envied those who are proud,as I observed the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For they suffer no pain;their bodies are strong and well-fed.
5 They are immune to the trouble common to men;they do not suffer as other men do.
6 Arrogance is their necklace,and violence their clothing.
7 Their prosperity causes them to do wrong;their thoughts are sinful.
8 They mock and say evil things;they proudly threaten violence.
9 They speak as if they rule in heaven,and lay claim to the earth.
