Read in context

Psalms 73:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
