Prosperity and Longevity Enjoyed by the Wicked
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear. (Job 21: 7, 8, 9.)
They [men of the world] are full of children and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. (Ps. 17: 14.)
I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.... They are not in trouble as other men.... Behold, these are the ungodly who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. (Ps. 73: 3, 5, 12.)
There is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. (Eccl. 7: 15.)
Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? (Jer. 12: 1.)
