⁵ They are free from burdens of men, Neither are they plagued like other men.

¹² Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

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

¹ Righteous are you, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet would I reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they at ease who deal very treacherously?

² You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

⁶ When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.

¹¹ My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹² For whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; Even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

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

⁸ But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

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