3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart;

he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.

3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,

and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,

And blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

3 For they brag about their evil desires;

they praise the greedy and curse the Lord.

3 They brag about the things they want.

They bless the greedy but hate the Lord.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,

And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his soul’s desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.

3 The wicked person boasts about his selfish desires. 

He blesses robbers, but he curses the Lord. 

3 For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;

the one who is greedy curses and despises the Lord.

3 For the wicked boast of the desires of their heart,

those greedy for gain curse and renounce the Lord.

3 for the wicked boasts about the desire of his heart,

and the one greedy for gain curses and treats Yahweh with contempt.

3 He brags about what his heart longs for.

He speaks well of those who always want more.

He attacks the Lord with his words.

3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,

And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.
