Psalms 73:5

Read in context

Psalms 73:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
