He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
10:8
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
10:9
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10:10
They are crushed and beaten down; the helpless fall prey to his strength.

He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
