They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.

Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? 2 You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.
