Psalms 73:10
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
