10:2 The wicked arrogantly chase the oppressed; 1
the oppressed are trapped 2 by the schemes the wicked have dreamed up. 3
10:3 Yes, 4 the wicked man 5 boasts because he gets what he wants; 6
the one who robs others 7 curses 8 and 9 rejects the Lord. 10
10:4 The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks,
“God won’t hold me accountable; he doesn’t care.” 11
10:5 He is secure at all times. 12
He has no regard for your commands; 13
he disdains all his enemies. 14
10:6 He says to himself, 15
“I will never 16 be upended,
because I experience no calamity.” 17
10:7 His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; 18
his tongue injures and destroys. 19
