Job 21:7‑15• 7Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
8Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.
9Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of +God upon them.
10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12They shout to the tambour and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment go down to Sheol.
14And they say unto *God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways!
15What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?
(Job 21:7‑15)
;
Psa. 37:35‑36• 35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
36but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
(Psa. 37:35‑36)

Psa. 73:3‑12• 3For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

5They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like other men:
6Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them as a garment;
7Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart:
8They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily:
9They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them.
