³ For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁷ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

⁷ Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

12 Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

¹⁷ Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

⁵ Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

³¹ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
