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

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of the wicked:

Envy not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.

Let not thy heart envy sinners, but be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day;

{A Psalm of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
