Psalm 73:6

God's Ways Vindicated

⁵ Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten. ⁶ For this cause, doth arrogance deck them as a neck-chain, And a garment of wrong is their attire; ⁷ Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart;
