6. They wear pride like a jeweled necklaceand clothe themselves with cruelty.
7. These fat cats have everythingtheir hearts could ever wish for!
8. They scoff and speak only evil;in their pride they seek to crush others.
9. They boast against the very heavens,and their words strut throughout the earth.
10. And so the people are dismayed and confused,drinking in all their words.

13. Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?
14. I get nothing but trouble all day long;every morning brings me pain.
