Psalms 73:4

Read in context

Psalms 73:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.

6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
