For my soul was grieved, and I was pricked in my heart. Verse ConceptsConviction Of SinBitterness

Therefore justice is far from us, nor does righteousness overtake us. We look for light, but, behold, darkness, for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. We grope for the wall like the blind. Yea, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight. [We are] as dead men in desolate places. We all roar like bears, and moan greatly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us. read more.

For our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them: transgressing and denying LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off. For truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow mighty in power? Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear, nor is the rod of God upon them. read more.
Their bull breeds, and does not fail. Their cow brings forth safely, and does not miscarry. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe. They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment they go down to Sheol.

For he shall see it. Wise men die. The fool and the brutish alike perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward thought is [that] their houses [are] forever, their dwelling-places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names. Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish. read more.
This their way is their folly. Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah. They are appointed as a flock for Sheol.

Therefore pride is as a chain around their neck. Violence covers them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.

Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full [cup] are drained by them. And they say, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? Behold, these are the wicked, and those who always prosper. They have possessed wealth. Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence, for all the day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I had said, I will speak thus, behold, I would have dealt treacherously with the generation of thy sons. When I thought how I might understand this, it was too painful for me, until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end. Surely thou set them in slippery places. Thou cast them down to destruction. How they have become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

Thou who are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and who cannot look on perverseness, why do thou look upon those who deal treacherously, and hold thy peace when the wicked man swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, and makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
