Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
