Psalms 73:12

"Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches." (The psalmist here is working out the problem of the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist was troubled as he saw many who had no fear of God before their eyes, who seemed always to be prospering. And yet why do we wonder at this? The bull that is intended to be killed is the first to be fattened, and the one that is doomed to destruction will often be allowed to prosper. Would you not let them have as much pleasure they can have in this life, for they will have none in the next? We must not envy them their short-lived joys).

Charles H. Spurgeon
