They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.
How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?
At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.
Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.
Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.
But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.
To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
