6  The tabernacles of robbers ^bprosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

  7  Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are ^amighty in power?

  12  Behold, these are the ungodly, who ^aprosper in the world; they increase in riches.

  22  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this ^aworld, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

  9  Nevertheless, thou hast seen great sorrow, for thou hast rejected me many times because of pride and the cares of the ^cworld.
