7“Why do the wicked still live,
Continue on, also become very powerful?
8“Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes,
9Their houses are safe from fear,
And the rod of God is not on them.
10“His ox mates without fail;
His cow calves and does not abort.
11“They send forth their little ones like the flock,
And their children skip about.
12“They sing to the timbrel and harp
And rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13“They spend their days in prosperity,
And suddenly they go down to Sheol.
14“They say to God, ‘Depart from us!
We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.
15‘Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him,
And what would we gain if we entreat Him?’
16“Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand;
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17“How often is the lamp of the wicked put out,
Or does their calamity fall on them?
Does God apportion destruction in His anger?
Continue on, also become very powerful?

1Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? 3“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
