3 For I envied the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 For I was envious at the foolish,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 For I envied the proud

when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

3 For I was envious of the boastful,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

I saw wicked people doing well.

3 For I was envious at the arrogant,

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

3 because I was envious of arrogant people 

when I saw the prosperity that wicked people enjoy. 

3 For I envied the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

3 because I envied the boastful

when I saw the well-being of the wicked.

3 I saw that proud and sinful people were doing well.

And I began to long for what they had.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant

As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
