“But notice, the prosperity of the wicked is not in their hand (in their power);The counsel of the wicked [and the mystery of God’s dealings with the ungodly] is far from my comprehension.

“Yet He filled their houses with good things;But the counsel of the wicked and ungodly is far from me.

“God who says to a king, ‘You are worthless and vile,’Or to princes and nobles, ‘You are wicked and evil’?
