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

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

Rest in Jehovah, 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.

For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:

To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;

The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit .

Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

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

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
