Psalms 50:8

8 Not for your sacrifices ^ado I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.

Psalms 73:3-14

3 ^bFor I was ^cenvious of the arrogant
when I saw the ^dprosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not ^estricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is ^ftheir necklace;
violence covers them as ^ga garment.
7 Their ^heyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and ⁱspeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find ^jno fault in them. ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew the waters of a full cup are drained by them}
11 And they say, ^l“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they ^mincrease in riches.
13 All in vain have I ⁿkept my heart clean
and ^owashed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long I have been ^pstricken
and ^qrebuked ^revery morning.

Jeremiah 12:1

Jeremiah’s Complaint

1 ^sRighteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
^tWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all ^uwho are treacherous thrive?
