They are not even in the trouble of mortal man, and they are not plagued the same as other men.”​—Psalm 73:3-5.

Moreover, they are not “in the trouble of mortal man,” for unlike the masses of mankind, they need not struggle to obtain life’s necessities. Asaph concluded that the wicked “are not plagued the same as other men.” Especially do they escape trials that godly people experience because the latter adhere to Jehovah’s righteous standards in Satan’s wicked world.​—1 John 5:19.
