King James Version with Apocrypha
"Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment."
— Psalms 73:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.”
“Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment. ”
“Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.”
“Arrogance is their necklace, and violence covers them like clothing.”
“They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.”
“For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.”
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
