- Wherefore:
- "The tabernaclesª of robbersª° prosper,ª° and they that provokeª° Godª are secure;ª into whose¹ handª Godª bringethª° [abundantly]." {Job 12:6} + "They are inclosed²° in¹ their own fat:ª with their mouthª they speakª° proudly.ª" {Psa 17:10} + "For¹ I was enviousª° at the foolish,ª° [when] I sawª° the prosperityª of the wicked.ª ... Behold,¹ these¹ [are] the ungodly,ª who prosperª in the world;ª they increaseª° [in] riches.ª" {Psa 73:3-12} + "Righteousª [art] thou,¹ O LORD,ª when¹ I pleadª° with¹ thee: yet¹ let me talkª° with¹ thee of [thy] judgments:ª Wherefore¹ doth the wayª of the wickedª prosper?ª° [wherefore] are all¹ they happyª° that deal very² treacherously?ª°¹ ... But thou,¹ O LORD,ª knowestª° me: thou hast seenª° me, and triedª° mine heartª toward¹ thee: pull them outª° like sheepª for the slaughter,ª and prepareª° them for the dayª of slaughter.ª" {Jer 12:1-3} + "They take upª° all¹ of them with the angle,ª they catchª° them in their net,ª and gatherª° them in their drag:ª therefore¹¹ they rejoiceª° and are glad.ª° ... Therefore¹¹ they sacrificeª° unto their net,ª and burn incenseª° unto their drag;ª because¹ by themª their portionª [is] fat,ª and their meatª plenteous.ª" {Hab 1:15-16}
