• Bible Text: Psalm 73:6-12 (ESV)

  ⁶ Therefore pride is their necklace;

  violence covers them as a garment.

  ⁷ Their eyes swell out through fatness;

  their hearts overflow with follies.

  ⁸ They scoff and speak with malice;

  loftily they threaten oppression.

  ⁹ They set their mouths against the heavens,

  and their tongue struts through the earth.

  ¹⁰ Therefore his people turn back to them,

  and find no fault in them.

  ¹¹ And they say, “How can God know?

  Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

  ¹² Behold, these are the wicked;

  always at ease, they increase in riches.

• Personal Study/Reflection
• Read the passage slowly and pause to linger over notable words and phrases. Ask questions to explore the Bible passage for truths, challenges, or lessons about life, the gospel, or Christian life. As you answer your questions, engage in personal reflection and respond to how God is using the passage to speak to you today.  (You can refer to the Inductive Bible Study guidelines at the top of this page.)
