For I was (A)envious of the [a]arrogant
As I saw the (B)prosperity of the wicked.
For there are no pains in their death,
And their [b]body is fat.
They are (C)not [c]in trouble as other [d]men,
Nor are they (D)plagued [e]like mankind.
Therefore pride is (E)their necklace;
The (F)garment of violence covers them.
Their eye [f]bulges from (G)fatness;
The imaginations of their heart [g]run riot.
They (H)mock and [h]wickedly speak of oppression;
They (I)speak from on high.
They have (J)set their mouth [i]against the heavens,
And their tongue [j]parades through the earth.
