³¹ Envy thou not the man of violence,
And choose none of his ways.

³⁰ A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;
But ^[a]envy is the rottenness of the bones.

¹⁷ Let not thy heart envy sinners;
But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:

24 Be not thou envious against evil men;
Neither desire to be with them:
² For their heart studieth oppression,
And their lips talk of mischief.

¹⁹ Fret not thyself because of evil-doers;
Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
²⁰ For there shall be no reward to the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
