2

But as for me, my feet were almost gone.

My steps had nearly slipped.

For I was envious of the arrogant,

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

For there are no struggles in their death,

but their strength is firm.

Selected verse

They are free from burdens of men,

neither are they plagued like other men.

Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck.

Violence covers them like a garment.

Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

They scoff and speak with malice.

In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
