Psalms 73:8
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
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.
10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
