4For there are no gbands in their death:
But their strength is †firm.
5They are not †in trouble as other men;
Neither are they hplagued †like other men.
6nTherefore pride compasseth them about ias a chain;
Violence covereth them jas a garment.
7kTheir eyes stand out with fatness:
†They have more than heart could wish.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:
9They set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue walketh through the earth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.
Therefore pride is their necklace;
violence covers them as a garment.
Their eyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
They scoff and speak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.
They are free from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.
From their callous hearts comes iniquity;
their evil imaginations have no limits.
They scoff, and speak with malice;
with arrogance they threaten oppression.
Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
They have an easy time until they die,
and their bodies are well fed.
They are not in trouble like others;
they are not afflicted like most people.
Therefore, pride is their necklace,
and violence covers them like a garment.
Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
They mock, and they speak maliciously;
they arrogantly threaten oppression.
They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues strut across the earth.

NLTNew Living Translation
They seem to live such painless lives;
their bodies are so healthy and strong.
They don’t have troubles like other people;
they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.
They wear pride like a jeweled necklace
and clothe themselves with cruelty.
These fat cats have everything
their hearts could ever wish for!
They scoff and speak only evil;
in their pride they seek to crush others.
They boast against the very heavens,
and their words strut throughout the earth.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
For there are no pains up to their death,
and their bodies are healthy.
They do not have ordinary trouble,
and they are not plagued as other people.
Therefore pride is their necklace;
an outfit of violence covers them.
Their eye bulges from fat.
Imaginings overflow their heart.
They mock and speak maliciously of oppression;
they speak as though from on high.
They set their mouth against the heavens,
and their tongue roams the earth.
