But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, And lettest such words go out of thy mouth.
Yet he fired their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways.
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: He covereth the faces of the judges thereof; If it be not he, who then is it?
From men, by thy hand, O LORD, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Then shall he sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty: even he whose might is his god.
