Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no pangs in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. Psalm 73:1-5

Some of the most wicked, diabolical people on earth are multi-billionaires! Drug lords, murderers, enemies of all that is good just seem to flourish without consequence. Take George Soros, who hates America and does everything he can to see it destroyed.
A wicked man who has financed some of the most evil attacks on our country and against democracy. In his old age, he has left his demonic mission to his son, who may even be worse than him. Our own government has many who entered poor and are now rich, guilty of many underhanded deeds, but they never get caught, even though everyone knows what they have done.
Even though they live a seemingly idyllic life, judgment soon awaits them, an eternal flame that burns away any hope of mercy and salvation. The memory of them and their evil life melts away in the ashes of God's fury.
Therefore, pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment. Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than the heart could wish. They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth. 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 ungodly, who are always at ease; they increase in riches. Surely, I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocence. For all day long, I have been plagued and chastened every morning. Psalm 73:6-14
