9They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find eno fault in them.

Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they hincrease in riches.
13All in vain have I ikept my heart clean
and jwashed my hands in innocence.
14For all the day long I have been kstricken
and lrebuked mevery morning.
15If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
I would have betrayed nthe generation of your children.

13 q“Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. rBut you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’ 14You have said, s‘It is vain to serve God. tWhat is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts? 15And now we call uthe arrogant blessed. vEvildoers not only prosper but wthey put God to the test and they escape.’”
