Into the Fire

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,

  who are caught in the schemes he devises.

He boasts of the cravings of his heart;

  he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.

In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;

  in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

His ways are always prosperous;

  he is haughty and your laws are far from him;

  he sneers at all his enemies.

He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me;

  I'll always be happy and never have trouble."

His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats;

  trouble and evil are under his tongue.

Psalm 10:2-7 (NIV)
