For I was (A)envious of the [a]arrogant
As I saw the (B)prosperity of the wicked.

And their belly is fat.
They are (C)not [b]in trouble like other people,
Nor are they (D)tormented together with the rest of mankind.
Therefore arrogance is (E)their necklace;
The (F)garment of violence covers them.
Their eye [c]bulges from (G)fatness;
The imaginations of their heart overflow.

    their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
They are free(C) from common human burdens;
    they are not plagued by human ills.
Therefore pride(D) is their necklace;(E)
    they clothe themselves with violence.(F)
From their callous hearts(G) comes iniquity[b];
    their evil imaginations have no limits.
