Psalms 73:6

Arrogance is their necklace, ¹  and violence their clothing. ² 

De 8:13,14; De 32:15; Jud 8:26; Es 3:1,5,6; Es 5:9-11; Job 21:7-15; Ps 109:18,29; Pr 1:9; Pr 3:31; Pr 4:17; Ec 8:11; So 4:9; Isa 3:19; Jer 48:11,29; Eze 16:11; Eze 28:2-5; Da 4:30; Mic 2:1,2; Mic 3:5; Jas 5:4-6; 1Pe 5:5

¹ sn Arrogance is their necklace. The metaphor suggests that their arrogance is something the wicked “wear” proudly. It draws attention to them, just as a beautiful necklace does to its owner.

² tn Heb “a garment of violence covers them.” The metaphor suggests that violence is habitual for the wicked. They “wear” it like clothing; when one looks at them, violence is what one sees.
