I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,

On those who act treacherously?
Why are you silent when the wicked (Chaldean oppressors) destroy
Those more righteous than they?

As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are those who deal in treachery (deceit) at ease and thriving?

Daniel 4:17

“This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers
And the decision is a command of the holy ones,

That the Most High [God] rules over the kingdom of mankind
And He bestows it on whomever He desires
And sets over it the humblest and lowliest of men.”

And gather them together in their fishing net;
So they rejoice and are glad.
