3. For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desire;he blesses the greedy and despises the Lord.
4. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek God;God is not in all his thoughts.
5. His ways are always prosperous;Your judgments are high and distant from him;as for all his enemies, they scoff at him.

7. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
