⁵ They are not in trouble as `other' men; Neither are they plagued like `other' men.

¹² Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

⁹ Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

¹ Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

² Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

⁶ Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

⁸ But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
