12. Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world. Here are the unjust rewarded and indulged, and that not for a day or an
hour, but in perpetuity. From their youth up these men, who deserve perdition,
revel in prosperity. Blind sense says, make this square with providential
justice if you can. They increase in riches, or strength. No bad debts
and bankruptcies weigh them down, but robbery and usury pile up their
substance. The rich grower richer, the proud grow prouder. Lord, thy poor
servants, who become yet poorer, and groan under their burdens, are made to
wonder at thy mysterious ways.
